Education
The Englewood Public School District serves students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade. For high school, students from Englewood Cliffs attend Dwight Morrow High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Englewood Cliffs Public Schools.
Schools in the district (with 2009-10 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are D. A. Quarles Early Childhood Center (350 students; grades PreK-K), Grieco Elementary School (566; 1-3), McCloud School (504; 4-6), Janis E. Dismus Middle School (380; 7-8) and Dwight Morrow High School / Academies at Englewood (9-12; 1,035).
High school students from Englewood and all of Bergen County may also apply on a competitive basis to attend the public Bergen County Technical High Schools and Bergen County Academies, with the former located in Teterboro and Paramus and the latter located in Hackensack.
As an alternative to regular public education, Englewood has the Englewood on the Palisades Charter School (216; K-5). Shalom Academy, a charter school with a focus on Hebrew language immersion, had planned to open for grades K-5 in September 2013, serving students from both Englewood and Teaneck, but was rejected by the New Jersey Department of Education in July 2012. The school had originally planned to open for the 2011-12 school year, but was forced to delay its opening date for 12 months after it was unable to demonstrate to the New Jersey Department of Education that it had obtained an appropriate facility to house its students and was given a "planning year" by the NJDoE to address outstanding issues.
Englewood is the home to a number of private schools. Dwight-Englewood School has 935 students in preschool through twelfth grade. Elisabeth Morrow School serves 462 students in preschool through eighth grade. Moriah School of Englewood is a Jewish day school with nearly 1,000 students in preschool through eighth grade, and St. Cecilia Interparochial School is a Catholic school with 165 students in pre-k 3 through eighth grade. Yeshiva Ohr Simcha serves students in high school for grades 9-12 and offers a postgraduate yeshiva program.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
“I prefer to finish my education at a different school.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“An acquaintance with the muses, in the education of youth, contributes not a little to soften the manners. It gives a delicate turn to the imagination, and a kind of polish to the mind in severer studies.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
