Education
Metuchen is fortunate to be home to a variety of schools devoted to fulfilling the educational needs of students from nursery school through graduate studies. With active involvement from parents, local businesses and the community, Metuchen’s educational programs strive to stimulate learning in a nurturing environment. More than 15 nursery schools and child care centers are located in Metuchen, each dedicated to readying students for lifelong learning.
The Metuchen School District provides the area with exemplary public education. The school district is comprised of Moss School (Board of Education Offices and Kindergarten Classes), Campbell Elementary School (grades 1-4), Edgar Middle School (grades 5-8) and the recently renovated Metuchen High School (grades 9-12).
