Since the eighteenth century, education has been integral to the growth and development of Gloucester Township. Records from 1790 indicate there was a log school built in the field across from the Chews Landing Tavern. Over time, several schools were built and expanded to accomodate the growing population.
In 1958, a modern 12-room school was built on Somerdale Road. Named for its geographic location in the township, Chews Elementary School enrolled its first students. Since that time, there have been three major additions to the school.
Today Chews Elementary School has over 40 classrooms and a student population of more than 800 children in grades K-5. Our excellent reputation continues to be a reason people choose to settle in Gloucester Township. |
