Education
Students in public school for grades Kindergarten through 12 attend the Westwood Regional School District, a comprehensive regional school district serving both Washington Township and Westwood that is the county's only regional K-12 district. Schools in the district (with 2009-10 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are four K-5 elementary schools — Berkeley Avenue Elementary School (250 students), Jessie F. George Elementary School (292), Washington Elementary School (257) and Brookside Elementary School (had 418 in grades 5&6 prior to the realignment) — Westwood Regional Middle School for grades 7 and 8 (which had 314 students in grades K-4 as Ketler Elementary School) and Westwood Regional High School for grades 8-12 (which had 1,179 students in grades 7-12). As of the 2010-11 school year, Ketler Elementary School, which had served K-4, was shifted to become Westwood Regional Middle School for grades 6 and 7, while the other elementary schools would all serve K through 5, and the high school was shifted to grades 8-12 (from 7-12).
Westwood is also home to The Healing Hands Institute for Massage Therapy.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. Education and free discussion are the antidotes of both.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“In that reconciling of God and Mammon which Mrs. Grantly had carried on so successfully in the education of her daughter, the organ had not been required, and had become withered, if not defunct, through want of use.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
