The Mustard Seed School is a private Christian elementary school established in 1979 and committed to the highest quality of education. Mustard Seed began its history with only two classes of 16 students. Its current enrollment has expanded and is now composed of 16 classes with almost 200 students from preschool to eighth grade. The school uses a holistic, collaborative and arts-infused approach to learning that prepares students for the next stage of learning and life.
Beyond academics, there’s a strong emphasis on creative expression. Students are introduced to the world of arts and the beauty of nature right at their doorstep. Throughout the year, students discover and explore beyond the classroom in urban and natural environments nurturing the mind and soul. Trips to museums, outdoor education programs and hikes are a fun and highly anticipated part of every school year.
Academic events acknowledge milestones throughout the school year. They include a publishing party for kindergarteners who’ve completed their class alphabet book, a Memoir Night for sixth graders and an I Love Math Day every February 14.

Both our daughters went to preschool at MSS. We then moved away from NJ and against the background of the Florida schools, we further realized what a special place for growth and education Mustard Seed School is. We returned to Hoboken and our younger daughter is back at MSS. She loves going the school and we love the community it has provided us.

Thankfully, this school is no more. The “educators” were not qualified to teach children and I am shocked this school was even accredited. There was not much learning going on, and children were not prepared to thrive in high school and beyond. This place was an over-glorified daycare and I’m glad r...

You will regret sending your child to this school. They will hold your child back academically to keep pace with the rest of the class, and there is not much learning going on in this school. Your child will be academically disadvantaged as they apply to high schools due to the poor curriculum and l...

Four stars because no school is ever perfect. I usually do not write reviews but felt compelled after reading the multiple reviews posted on 4/21/23. I am a parent to a current student and an alumni of MSS. Both kids have been at the school since pre-K. Our experience at the school has been positive...

I have never seen such a fall from grace. What was once a great school with amazing, cared for traditions, has turned into a careless, unethical moneygrab. I have never seen a school care less about the safety of their students. What was once a school with rich traditions turned into a school that d...
