MEET THE FOUNDER
Hey, I'm NICKI!
We’re so glad you’re here! If you’ve ever felt that school could be something more, you’re in the right place.
Apogee Hunterdon was born from a simple but powerful belief: education should inspire, not just instruct. It should ignite curiosity, build character, and help children uncover their unique strengths. We’re here to create a space where learning feels like an adventure—where kids are encouraged to ask questions, take risks, and grow into confident, capable leaders.
This journey began with our own daughter, but it doesn’t stop there. We believe the world needs a new generation of courageous, curious learners—and that starts right here in Hunterdon.
Welcome to a community where education looks different. Where potential is unlocked. Where the future is being built.
Apogee Hunterdon is an affiliate of Apogee Strong.

THE PHILOSOPHY
GET INSPIRED
“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to
have tried to succeed.”
–Theodore Roosevelt-
What ages are you accepting?
We are currently interviewing learners and their families ages 5-12 for our founding year beginning in Sept 2026. Our Explorer Studio, ages 5-7 and our Adventurer Studio, ages 8-12. Our longterm vision is to offer options for ages 5-18.
What does a day in the life look like?
Each day blends intentional structure with the freedom to explore. Students move through projects, academics, fitness, and free play. The schedule provides a framework, but when curiosity and deep learning take hold, our coaches give students the space to follow it.
Where are you located?
Our campus is located at 24 Cokesbury Road, Suite 9 Lebanon, NJ 08833.
What is the cost?
Full Time Program (Monday-Thursday)

Joining fee of $750, capped at $1,500 per family.

What is the role of parents?
Parents are partners. When home and school are aligned, kids thrive. We’ll keep you informed, share resources, and welcome you into the community—no busywork or required volunteer hours, just a shared commitment to raising capable, thriving kids.
Is the program accredited?
Apogee as an organization is currently in the process of acquiring accreditation. Apogee Hunterdon will be an accredited campus.
What does the academic calendar look like?
Coming soon.
What about middle school and high school?
Currently, we serve ages 5-12.
The long-term vision is to develop the upper level environments as our oldest leaders continue to grow.
The Apogee network has developed middle and high school frameworks that
move far beyond the traditional classroom experience. While the core principles remain the same, the focus shifts toward apprenticeships, real-world projects, entrepreneurship, portfolio building, and developing practical life and career skills that are often overlooked in conventional education.
Students are encouraged to take on meaningful responsibilities, explore their interests in depth, and gain hands-on experience that prepares them for adulthood. As the network continues to grow, Apogee has also begun establishing partnerships with universities and other post-secondary pathways to support learners as they transition into the next stage of their educational journey.
