Welcome to Montclair

one of our nation's

"Blue Ribbon Schools!"

Montclair serves a diverse community. We house the traditional neighborhood school, which uses the district curriculum and textbooks. We house a magnet Montessori Program that uses a more "hands-on" and "independent learner" approach and includes a parent-pay preschool. We house classrooms that serve mild, moderate, and severely handicapped children. We have students of various nationalities, religious backgrounds, and languages. At Montclair we embrace and celebrate differences.
