Montessori Children's School serves families in the City of Jacksonville, North Carolina and the surrounding towns of Holly Ridge, Richlands, Swansboro, North Topsail Beach, Surf City, Sneads Ferry and the military families serving at U.S. Marine Corps Bases, Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station, New River. Jacksonville is in the southeastern coastal plain of North Carolina, approximately 120 miles east of Raleigh, and 50 miles north of Wilmington. Our city has a small town feel with a low cost of living.
As a coastal North Carolina community and location on the Atlantic Ocean, our community offers easy access to some of the most beautiful (and quiet) beaches in the country. Avid fishermen enjoy easy access to game fish found in the gulf stream, while recreational boaters and sunbathers may prefer cruising the intracoastal waterway and stopping for breaks on any number of uninhabited islands, complete with white sand beaches. You don’t have to love the beach to enjoy living in our community—golf courses, city and county parks, hiking trails and bike paths all contribute to the area’s livability. Our residents enjoy a temperate climate with all four seasons. While snow isn’t unheard of, there is rarely enough to cause school or business closures.
Jacksonville offers shopping, dining, and community activities galore. With a cohesive network of government and community agencies, we are proud to host annual festivals, recreation, cultural activities and sporting events.
