Service Learning
At RBCS, we believe that all children should become responsible citizens exemplifying the values of respect and personal responsibility. Through our comprehensive Service Learning Curriculum in grades K-8, students discover much about themselves and their talents in the context of a community of people. Children have ample opportunities to complete school-wide and classroom service learning activities. Additionally, students in the upper-grades also have individual internship experiences.
Dressed in our blue and tan uniforms, children are seen around town painting storm drains with the Clean Communities Council, delivering snacks at the Habitat for Humanity site, or making lunches and sharing conversations with the folks at the Senior Center. We realize the risk we take by expecting young people to engage appropriately in the workplace. The value added to our instructional program is well-documented through our community partners' complimentary comments. They assure us our high expectations and trust in children are well-founded. "I think it is a great program. If you send me a survey of what types of careers the incoming 8th graders would like to learn about, I could see if there are people/businesses in the community where we can place the students."
"I'm a fan. Overall, these students were great to work with. We would love to participate again next year."
"Now that I know what other businesses are doing, I will try to expand your program within the Count Basie Theater keep me in the loop."

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.
...it gives my children an exceptional, nurturing, challenging environment to learn and grow – both academically and as a person. It’s a blessing. ...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. ...of the alternative, progressive curriculum and the intimate nature of the classes. Teachers and students all know everyone by name, which is nice. |
