At John Marshall School we seek to have each child reach his or her full academic potential.  In addition, we have available a wide variety of programs and clubs to assist students in becoming better citizens and improving their self worth.  These programs and clubs include CARES, Strings, Chorus, Band, Safety Patrols, Student Council, Gardening Club, ESL Club, Computer Club, Special Friends, Brain Teaser, Homework Haven and Fitness Club.  The students at John Marshall participate in our Character Education program, designed to teach them the six pillars of having strong character.

We are a diverse community with students representing cultures from all over the world.  We have an active Human Relations Committee which works closely with our PTO to plan a wide variety of family-oriented evening programs and daytime assemblies.  John Marshall has partnered with the Edison Municipal Alliance.  This program works with parents and children to help strengthen the family unit.

We provide our students with a wide variety of opportunities to explore and express their thoughts.  Daily, select students speak over the public address system to the student body about their special holidays and other happenings in the school.  We publish a quarterly literary magazine focusing on student writing.  Students are rewarded for meeting and exceeding their leisure reading goals through numerous programs.

At John Marshall, we are dedicated to continue working together as a close knit community of life-long learners for the betterment of our student body.
