About

Montessori at its best! Located in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, The Albrook School educates students from toddler through sixth grade. As a private non-profit Montessori School, it is fully accredited by the AMS and Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

Albrook’s teachers touch the children’s imagination and kindle in them a sense of the limitless possibilities in their world. By truly believing in each child’s potential, the teacher instills great confidence and positive attitudes towards life-long learning.

At Albrook, we want our children to grow into independent problem solvers and caring, responsible citizens. The teacher prepares the environment to a high degree of perfection with a series of sequential, manipulative and sensorial materials that ultimately bridge the gap between concrete and abstract learning. The teacher is a link between these materials and the child. With a great understanding of human development, the teacher observes each child, reflects upon his/her observations and individualizes the curriculum. Thus, the environment becomes a nourishing place for each child.

The Albrook School Curriculum includes:
cultural enrichment including foreign languages and geography
an integrated approach to language
a firm mathematical foundation developed through the use of didactic material
the development of the child’s natural tendency to seek explanations through scientific experiments and observations
a peace curriculum

Albrook’s philosophy is designed to cultivate respect, responsibility, independence and tolerance for others.
