Education
Ho-Ho-Kus Public School serves public school students in preschool through eighth grade. As of the 2009-10 school year, the school had an enrollment of 680 students. The school population has seen an increase of more than 200 students in the preceding decade.
Local secondary school students in public school attend Northern Highlands Regional High School in nearby Allendale, which serves students in the 9th-12th grades from Allendale, Ho-Ho-Kus, Upper Saddle River and Saddle River, as part of sending/receiving relationships with the Ho-Ho-Kus district.
After ending a long-standing sending relationship to Ridgewood High School in the mid-1970s, Ho-Ho-Kus students started attending Midland Park High School. The small size of the Midland Park school and the lack of electives led to efforts in the mid-1990s to find another high school to serve students from the borough. Since then, high school students from Ho-Ho-Kus have been attending Northern Highlands Regional High School. The current agreement between Ho-Ho-Kus and Northern Highlands runs through 2018.
Ho-Ho-Kus is also home to the Ho-Ho-Kus Waldwick Cooperative Nursery School.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“If the education and studies of children were suited to their inclinations and capacities, many would be made useful members of society that otherwise would make no figure in it.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“If you complain of neglect of education in sons, what shall I say with regard to daughters, who every day experience the want of it? With regard to the education of my own children, I find myself soon out of my depth, destitute and deficient in every part of education. I most sincerely wish ... that our new Constitution may be distinguished for encouraging learning and virtue. If we mean to have heroes, statesmen, and philosophers, we should have learned women.”
—Abigail Adams (1744–1818)
“I prefer to finish my education at a different school.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
