Schools

Schools are places or systems for learning or education and may be physical locations composed of a building or a campus that includes multiple buildings. Schools may also be virtual or online institutions that offer educational experiences and degrees. Schools are usually physical locations for children in grades 1-12, as well as kindergarten and pre-kindergarten (pre-K) classes.

In New Jersey, schools are regulated by the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE), which sets standards for public education and oversees public school districts. Schools in New Jersey include traditional public schools, charter schools, private schools, and homeschooling options. Public schools are free to attend and are funded by state and local taxes. They serve students in grades K-12, which includes kindergarten through 12th grade. Pre-kindergarten programs are also available, often based on specific funding and eligibility criteria. Virtual or online schools are recognized as legitimate educational institutions and may be public or private. They must comply with state education standards and are an option for students who prefer an alternative to the traditional classroom setting. New Jersey has specific regulations for virtual charter schools, which must be approved by the NJDOE. All schools, whether physical or virtual, must adhere to state educational standards and curriculum requirements.
