As a Choice District, Frenchtown may accept students for enrollment from other communities without expense to the parent.  The application process for next year has begun and students accepted to attend Frenchtown Elementary School will start in September of 2013.  Any students currently attending other New Jersey schools or students preparing to enroll in kindergarten are eligible to apply for enrollment in Frenchtown.
