The Mastro Montessori Academy was established in 1968 by Mary Mastro Guarriello. Her mission was to create a school dedicated to Maria Montessori’s fundamental philosophy «Free the child’s potential and you will transform the world.»

In 1989 Mrs. Guarriello entrusted the school to her primary directress, In order to ensure the school’s future, Mastro Montessori attained non-​profit status. A Board of Trustees was established to guarantee the continuation of the school beyond one person and endow it to the community it serves.

For over forty years, Mastro Montessori has served the children of Monmouth County in its original location. It is the only school in Monmouth County accredited by the Association Montessori

Internationale (AMI); the premier authority on Montessori education and teacher training.
