PLEASE NOTE: At this time the program cannot accept any additional students for the 2023-2024 school year. Our program is full with a lengthy waiting list.
The Northern Burlington County Regional School District (NBCRD) Board of Education is pleased to provide the following information for all interested in our Inter-district Public School Choice Program (IPSC). The information that follows is designed to assist interested families in the navigation of the application process for the 2023-2024 school year.
It is a well recognized fact that the Northern Burlington County Regional School District offers a premier Agriscience program for students in grades 7 - 12. In fact, more recently, Northern's nationally award winning FFA program celebrated its 50th year of existence, becoming only the sixth FFA Chapter charted in New Jersey to commemorate that milestone. It is the belief of the Northern Burlington County Regional School District Board of Education that offering Northern's Agriscience program as an Inter-district Public School Choice Program increases and expands the exposure for potential future farmers to the Agriscience community and to the science, business, and technology of farming in the 21st century. In fact, there are over 300 career areas associated with the agriculture, food and natural resources industry which account for more that 17% of all occupations in the United States!
STEP ONE: The district will be providing a MANDATORY Orientation for interested students and their parents or guardians at the annual Open House, October 12, 2023 at 7:00 pm in the HS Media Center.
STEP TWO: Parent/Guardian must submit a notice of intent to participate in the school choice program to the Superintendent of the district in which the student resides. THE DEADLINE FOR THIS IS November 30, 2023.
STEP THREE: SUBMIT THE COMPLETED APPLICATION TO THE NORTHERN BURLINGTON COUNTY REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT'S OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT. THE DEADLINES FOR APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH NOVEMBER 30, 2023.
