The Albrook School

The Albrook School to host an Open House on November 15
BASKING RIDGE, NJ – Montessori at its best! You are invited to an Open House at The Albrook School on Sunday, November 15 from 1-3 p.m. at 361 Somerville Road, Basking Ridge. Learn about the school’s programs for children from two to twelve years old and experience the beautiful 6.5-acre campus with numerous playgrounds and engaging classrooms. Albrook’s schedule options for toddlers and preschoolers are extensive, and all students may take advantage of our full day extended hours program. To attend the Open House, please register:&nbsp;<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeh3PPg42JjdcjLfmwPiN9ZWD79cK-5k2EcH8I9zem4QDKjWg/viewform" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">OPEN HOUSE REGISTRATION</a>
The Albrook School is a nonprofit Montessori educational program dedicated to educating the “whole child.” We encourage students to grow into independent problem solvers and caring, responsible citizens. Children are given time and space to explore and work at their own pace and in their own learning style. Lessons are presented to facilitate spontaneous self-discovery; thus, the environment becomes a nourishing place for each individual. Children enjoy daily outdoor time and students in preschool and above participate in physical education, art, drama, computers/technology, music and Spanish language classes. Albrook also offers after school clubs such as baking, chess and soccer.
More information about Albrook is available at <a href="https://www.albrookschool.org." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">albrookschool.org.</a> If you have any questions, please contact the school by calling (908) 580-0661 or emailing admissions@albrookschool.org. We hope to see you at the Open House on November 15!
The Albrook School was founded in 1979 as a non-profit Montessori school, serving children ages two through twelve, guided by the Montessori philosophy to assist each child in developing their potentialities to the fullest. Our School is accredited by the American Montessori Society and the Middle States Commission on Elementary Schools. The Albrook School is located at 361 Somerville Road, Basking Ridge, NJ.

No crystal ball. Just clarity.
Specializing in real-life Happily Ever Afters, sessions with Shannon are intuitive, heart-centered, and woven in joy. Unlike psychic readings that focus on predicting fixed outcomes, these sessions open space for healing and more joy in your life—whether you’re seeking greater love in relationships, clarity in career and purpose, peace in health and well-being, or guidance for the next step in your journey.
Each session is unique and may include:
✨ Soul-centered guidance and inspiration for your path ✨ Intuitive insight into patterns and emerging possibilities in your life ✨ Energy clearing and heart-healing for release and peace ✨ Support in letting go of what no longer serves you ✨ Encouragement for wishes, dreams, and new beginnings ✨ Joy-filled awakenings and upshifts into higher resonance
Here, you are invited to step into clarity, peace, and joy in ways that touch every part of your life. A session may help you release burdens you’ve carried too long, notice new possibilities you hadn’t seen before, reconnect with what is sacred, or simply feel lighter and more at ease in where you are now.
Each session leaves you with guidance, encouragement, and inspiration — and with the sense that dreams can unfold in real life, miracles are possible, and your very own Happily Ever After may be nearer than you've imagined.
What to Know: All sessions with Shannon are in Divine timing; always free (no costs, no strings); and are complementary with all belief systems (secular or nonsecular) and all paths of life.
