Murray Avenue School

The best community environment where the students are excited to learn and be part of the larger school family! Teachers are passionate and there are many opportunities for parents to get involved too. There’s no place like Central!

There are no words to say how happy we are with this school. Every teacher our kids had in the past years are the kind of teachers that you will remember for a lifetime: dedicated, well trained, passionate about their work and always helping kids to find their best selves.We are very pleased both with academics and sports, as well as other activities provided within the classroom or after school. Music, theater, dance, robotics, coding...the number of activities help our kids to find what they like and who they are. Thanks to the school, for instance, one of our kids discovered he has a passion for robotics and coding. FASNY high school has one of the best Robotics teams in the country and made it to the National championship in Houston, TX, where they will compete in a few weeks.in FASNY, kids don't only learn academics, they also learn to be a good person and to be more independent: I could mention the field trips organized for 5th graders in Massachussets, where they learn to leave their parents for a few days. I can also mention the suspended gardens made in 1st grade to talk about the environment, or all the actions they organize to teach kids to help their own community.We also like that compared to a "lycee français" (we tried that before), FASNY is truly an American school, where our kids still get to cover the French program.

After two years in the toddler program at Hudson Country Montessori School, I can say without hesitation that I cannot recommend this school enough for families considering a Montessori environment. My child's growth has been remarkable. Within the first week of starting at 18 months, our child was reciting ABCs. Now she speaks in full, complex sentences and engages with the world around her with a curiosity and confidence that genuinely surprises me. That kind of development is the direct result of an environment that is intentional, nurturing, and committed to each child's individual journey.What distinguishes Hudson Country Montessori from other programs is the culture and the fact that they are actually an accredited Montessori school. My daughter is not just known by her classroom teachers. She is known by the entire faculty. Administrators, staff across the school understand her personality and clearly care about her as an individual.
