Montville Township, New Jersey Relocation Guide

Montville Township, New Jersey

Montville Township is a 19.1 square mile picturesque township which has retained much of its rural atmosphere despite the growth of the surrounding communities. Although agriculture remains, it is slowly being replaced by residential developments of well-planned industrial parks.

The township has a rich historic heritage. It was originally settled by the Dutch, who were attracted to the area by deep fertile soil, ample water, and nearness to other population centers. Today, Montville Township is divided into three population centers; Towaco, Pine Brook and Montville Township. Scattered throughout these areas are old homes which recall eras of change and economic development. In addition, portions of the Morris Canal are still visible, particularly along Route 202.

Montville Township is increasingly attracting a commuter population which seeks a semi-rural home atmosphere but desires travel convenience. Montville Township's proximity to major highway systems and the presence of New jersey Transit rail service within the town meet the necessary requirements of new residents.

SCHOOLS
The Township of Montville encompasses Towaco, Pine Brook, and Montville Township in beautiful Morris County. Our school district has seven schools and serves 3950 students, Pre-K through 12th grade. The five elementary schools are each individual in their school spirit and identities, yet all similar in that they adhere to the NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards that are contained within our Montville Township School District Curriculum Guides. We plan and implement every lesson so that all students achieve excellence. Our principals and supervisors work together to provide a collegial yet challenging environment for teachers to plan and reflect on their pedagogy. We are cognizant of every student's individual needs, and work to meet those needs every day. Our curriculum is rich with meaningful learning and our students achieve at the very highest levels possible. Examining student work, planning instruction to meet the needs of each child, continuous staff development and enrichment are some of the hallmarks of our elementary schools. Our parent organizations support the schools in many ways, and are an integral part of each school's success.
