A pioneer in the magnet school concept, Montclair has, for over 30 years, offered parents a choice of school best suited to their child's individual talents and needs. Some, for instance, emphasize arts and science; others feature science and technology or visual and performing arts. (See links to programs in individual schools in the navigation bar, at left.) Yet all Montclair schools follow the same basic curriculum, a rigorous educational program that not only meets, but exceeds, the New Jersey core content standards.
