Christopher Academy Montessori

Christopher Academy Montessori is New Jersey's original Montessori school, located in Westfield and serving children from ages three to twelve. As a specialized special education school, it fosters a peaceful, nurturing environment specifically designed for learners with language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional students. The multi-age classroom structure promotes social interaction and personal growth, allowing each child's unique instincts and skills to flourish within a supportive community.

The curriculum emphasizes practical life skills, sensorial experiences, mathematics, language development, and cultural awareness, all delivered by Montessori-certified teachers. These educators guide students through individualized learning paths tailored to their IEP goals and developmental needs. The school is fully accredited by the American Montessori Society and the National Council for Private School Accreditation, ensuring high educational standards while providing specialized therapeutic and developmental support.

What sets Christopher Academy apart is its commitment to low student-teacher ratios that foster meaningful connections and personalized attention. The school actively encourages parent-teacher collaboration and relies on the Christopher Academy Parent Association (CAPA) to enrich the school community. This holistic approach supports academic success while nurturing emotional and social development, making it a distinguished choice for families seeking exceptional educational experiences for their special needs children.
