ALTERNATIVES TO PUBLIC SCHOOL
 

Many New Jersey parents are increasingly losing confidence in the ability of our Public Schools to provide a safe, positive atmosphere conducive to education for all students who want to learn. Our experience with Roxbury confirmed this to us. So, on this page you will find a summary listing of Private and Parochial Schools serving northwest New Jersey and a reasonable drive from the Township of Roxbury, Morris County, NJ. Info on Home Schooling in New Jersey is also here.
We strongly recommend that you look into these excellent alternatives for Education.
