The Garwood Board of Education believes that all children can learn and that the Garwood Public Schools must prepare pupils to be lifelong learners, good citizens, and involved community members. Through the use of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards and our commitment to excellence, the Garwood Public Schools, in partnership with the community, will support a positive and productive learning environment that will empower each child to develop his/her potential while building and fostering enthusiasm, curiosity, responsibility, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
