The Morris School District has been a unifying social force and a source of tremendous pride in our community since 1854. In our classrooms and on our playgrounds, children of every race, religion, and economic background come together to learn with and from each other.

        The Morris School District serves the communities of Morristown and Morris Township (grades K-12) and Morris Plains (9-12) by providing a supportive and challenging educational environment for a total student population of approximately 4,800. Within the District there are three primary schools (K-2), three intermediate schools (3-5), one multiage magnet school (K-5), one middle school (6-8), and one high school. The District also provides a preschool program for children with special educational needs. The preschool program also has a limited number of places available for typically-developing four year olds.

        In addition to our pre K-12 program, the Morris School District operates an innovative Community School that offers an extensive adult school curriculum for lifelong learners. The Community School also provides a nurturing before and after-school child care program, Sunrise/Sunset, for Morris School District children of busy parents. Provided in each of the District's elementary schools, Sunrise/Sunset offers a safe, supportive and supervised environment in which boys and girls can work and play before and after school. The Community School's ever-popular summer program, Summer Plus, provides children with an active, enjoyable, and convenient alternative to summer camp. For information about any of the Community School programs please contact 973-292-2063.
