Education
Martha's Vineyard is served by Martha's Vineyard Public Schools:
- Edgartown School (Grades K-8)
- West Tisbury School (Grades K-8)
- Oak Bluffs School (Grades K-8)
- Tisbury School (Grades K-8)
- Chilmark School (Grades K-5)
- Martha's Vineyard Public Charter School (Grades K-12)
- Martha's Vineyard Regional High School (Grades 9-12)
Five of the six towns have their own elementary schools, while Aquinnah residents usually attend nearby Chilmark's elementary school. The Chilmark school serves only grades pre-K to 5, so students in grades 6 - 8 must attend another middle school—usually the West Tisbury school. The Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School, located in West Tisbury, serves the entire island and provides grades K-12. Martha's Vineyard Regional High School, which is located in Oak Bluffs, serves the entire island.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
“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)
“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
