Education
The Bound Brook School District serves students in pre-kindergarten to twelfth grade. Schools in the district (with 2009-10 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics) are LaMonte School (preK-K; 159 students), LaMonte Annex (1-2; 284), Lafayette School (3-5; 320), Smalley School (6-8; 255) and Bound Brook High School (9-12; 510). Students from South Bound Brook, New Jersey, attended the district's high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the South Bound Brook School District. At the beginning of the 2011-12 school joined the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, which allows students from other area communities to attend the Bound Brook schools. In the 2011-12 school year, the high school started a biomedical program from Project Lead the Way in addition to the existing engineering academy program.
There was also an Interparochial Catholic School in the borough, Holy Family Academy, (pre-K to grade 8) serving the local and surrounding communities. Estimated enrollment was about 150 prior to closure.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“One is rarely an impulsive innovator after the age of sixty, but one can still be a very fine orderly and inventive thinker. One rarely procreates children at that age, but one is all the more skilled at educating those who have already been procreated, and education is procreation of another kind.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
