schools

Good schools are vital to any thriving community.

Not only are they a priority at Mt Laurel, but they also come with a highly cherished benefit—the chance to walk your children to and from school. Residents with young children have two schools to choose from—Mt Laurel Elementary and Hilltop Montessori School—both within an easy stroll from home. And as those children grow older, they can take advantage of notable private schools or Shelby County schools, consistently ranked as one of the state’s best systems.
