The school has an excellent teaching system. Classes are small and students get more one on one time with the teacher.

The Chester school system is/was an excellent educational experience albeit many years ago. One son was a National Merit Scholar, accepted at Stanford Calif AND Jefferson Medical School/Penn State Pilot program, now has PhD in Genomics and is chief science officer in tech firm. Second son, who was told by HS counselor not college material, had to repeat math due to lack of previous learning in Math at WMCHS, during Freshman year at UWisc/Madison. He went on to earn a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at MIT in Mass. He now designs jet engines for the military. The educational system in Chester/Mendham is excellent. The onus is on the student and family to do their part in the overall learning process of each student.

Bragg is an excellent school. When my child started here in 5th grade, the teachers, staff and students were all very friendly and helpful. There are numerous opportunities for extracurricular activities and the teachers prepare the students well for their move up to middle school. There is a good mix of technology-based and traditional hands-on learning. Parents are given opportunities to participate and volunteer throughout the school year.

Bragg is an excellent school for those who want to learn. Teachers, principal, and superintendent are very involved and on top of things! They have an excellent science curriculum and our son loves going there!
