Character Education
Education is integrated into everything we do. Ours is a positive,  constructive learning environment. Our code of conduct is grounded in  respect and cooperation rather than simple compliance. Our unique culture is  the essence, the heartbeat of our school. A wise student once observed, "If we are really doing our mission, shouldn't we be able to feel it?" Yes, we  should. At RBCS, we do, as visitors often comment.

Through the implementation of a formal character education program, our children are provided with the necessary skills to interact peaceably with one another and other members of society. During the school year, children focus on ten character education values with one value assigned to each month of the school year. Under the umbrella of respect and responsibility the values include:

  • September: Cooperation
  • October: Persistence, Diligence, and Perseverance
  • November: Citizenship and Service
  • December: Tolerance and Fairness
  • January: Humor
  • February: Courage
  • March: Friendship
  • April: Honesty
  • May: Empathy and Caring
  • June: Self-Discipline

A multicultural literature selection for each grade level, from the Voices of Love and Freedom program, aligns with each monthly value and is read aloud and discussed with students in their classroom.

By teaching and modeling, learning and practicing the concepts and skills of the peaceable school, the staff, students and all members of the Red Bank Charter School community are in a unique position to bring constructive conflict resolutions skills into society.

I chose Red Bank Charter School because...
...it gives my children an exceptional, nurturing, challenging environment to learn and grow – both academically and as a person. It’s a blessing.
...of the alternative, progressive curriculum and the intimate nature of the classes. Teachers and students all know everyone by name, which is nice.
...of the value they place on education, integrity, the well being and growth of each individual student. Their goal is excellence and achievement and to help each child to reach their full potential and to come through the Charter School as a well rounded young adult.
...I wanted my children to have an education rich in the "extras" - music, Spanish, art. And I was attracted to the open and frequent communication between parents and teachers.
