School Choice

New Jersey Interdistrict School Choice Program

Lafayette Township School is now accepting applications for the 2027-2028 school year. This Department of Education program allows the opportunity for non-resident students to attend Lafayette Township School at no cost to their parents/guardians. This is Lafayette’s sixteenth year of participation in the School Choice program. We currently have openings in our Kindergarten through Grade 8 program. However, due to restrictions on funding for the School Choice program, the State of New Jersey has limited our ability to accept only 4 students for the 2027-2028 school year.

Applications are due by 11/24/2026.

A lottery will be held on Thursday, December 10th   at 4pm at the Lafayette Township School District.
