Bergen County Technical Schools is a county vocational school district that serves as the vocational / technical education arm of all the school districts within the 70 municipalities in Bergen County, New Jersey. The primary programs offered are the Bergen County Academies and Bergen County Technical High School.
As of the 2007-08 school year, the district's four schools had an enrollment of 2,065 students and 208.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.9.[1]
Because technical and vocational schooling is always closely tied to the job market, the cornerstone of the District’s success has been its ability to adapt to the changing needs of local industry. In 1992, the Academy for the Advancement of Science and Technology (AAST) opened and became the model for the seven existing magnet high school programs that meld college-prep level classes with a career focus. Secondary programs also include a full-time Technical High School in Teterboro, a Vocational High School in Paramus and shared time Technical Education Centers at both campuses.
