 Character
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.

We were very familiar with so many people here and so we knew about
all the great things that went on. We were heartbroken when we didn’t
get picked in the lottery but as soon as a spot became available
we were in. We are here to stay!!!
----------------------------------
I chose Red Bank Charter School because of the innovation and dedication
of the teachers, the diversity and supportive, inclusive culture,
and, most of all, because my daughter loves it and is thriving here!
----------------------------------
I chose Red Bank Charter School because 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.
