About the Provider

Description: Since its founding in 1978, the Marlboro Montessori Academy has remained centered and steadfast in its mission as a Montessori School.

Our philosophy and Montessori learning materials continue to support the founding principles set forth over 100 years ago by MARIA MONTESSORI.

While keeping grounded in the basic traditions and teachings of Montessori, our Academy has created many new contributions and enhancements to further connect with the children’s desire to discover and learn. This has been our great formula for success!
