Montessori Model UN 2018!

Last week some of our Middle School and Upper El students had another great experience at MMUN! Upper Elementary students participating for the first time did a fantastic job! Check out the gallery of photos provided by students, parents and teachers, recapping their unique experience.

Introducing our new Student Gallery!


Check it out! We've launched a brand new addition to our HPMS site... a gallery of all the amazing media work being done by our students. Click the image below or visit www.HPMS.gallery to see all of our Fall projects come to life. Use the menu on the top right of the home page to navigate to Lower El, Upper El & Middle School projects!

New work will be posted after each curriculum unit. 


Help our Middle School gather data!

Our middle school 'Charted Lands' project is working to create different maps of Jersey City. But we need your help! Please participate by taking two short surveys, linked below. (You can take the survey directly from this page!)

We can't wait to share the results!

What are the reasons you live in Jersey City? Answer the following questions on a scale of 0 - 10, with zero being of no importance, and ten being the most important. Leaving your email is optional, but if you do, we will send you our results one we have collected and interpreted the data.

This is a poll to see what makes people in Jersey City happy. Please fill out the form below, and thank you for participating!

Listen to this former Dean of Freshmen at Stanford university share thoughts on education and parenting.

Our curriculum, in accordance with Montessori principles, is spiral. Subjects and topics appear in subsequent years, with more depth and abstract thought each time. Therefore, something studied at a basic level in childhood may reappear at an advanced level in Middle School. This allows the students to become more intensely familiar with the knowledge and make it truly their own.
