The Village School

Fostering a Love of Learning Since 1977

The Village School is exceptional on so many levels. I feel as though I am giving my children a gift by providing this education to them. The teachers are sincerely interested in the success of each child and the children are encouraged to be creative and independent while there is still an emphasis on academics, ethics, and social responsibility. The self-confidence demonstrated by the middle school children enforces my confidence in the choice we have made for our children's education. I highly recommend The Village School!

Jackie Bruno, Village School Parent

The Village School offered unique opportunities I couldn't have gotten elsewhere. It gave me the skill of knowing how to learn and once you have that, you can succeed anywhere...When you have a teacher at The Village School for three years you develop a very special bond. I think of all the people at The Village School as my second family.

Bradford Meisel, Class of '05

The Village School really taught me how to manage my time because the work plans were such an integral part of the curriculum. The school really sets you up for high school and prepares you for later in life.

The Village School, founded in 1977, is an academically challenging Montessori school in Waldwick, NJ with program levels from Toddlers (18 months old) to Middle School. We are one of two Pre-K-8 schools in NJ that hold triple accreditation from The American Montessori Society (AMS), The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA) and The New Jersey Association of Independent Schools (NJAIS).

The rigorous standards set by all three accrediting organizations demonstrate our commitment to academic excellence and continuous improvement. We strive to empower every student to be an independent, self-directed, self-motivated learner and a happy contributing member of our community. We recognize that each child is unique with individual talents, interests and abilities.

The Village School is designed and devoted to helping each child fulfill his/her greatest potential in an environment that is both academically stimulating and supportive. The Village School offers an astonishing alternative to traditional education in Bergen County.

WE INVITE YOU TO VISIT AND LEARN ABOUT THIS DISTINCTIVE COMMUNITY OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE.
