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.” |

Individual attention to each student and each of their individual
needs – strengths – weaknesses. Strong feeling of family
between teachers, students, parents. Utilization of the town of
Red Bank and all it has to offer.
----------------------------------
It’s all about the education for the children!
----------------------------------
I was looking for an alternative to the primary school of Red Bank,
with smaller classroom population student/teacher ratios.
----------------------------------
I chose Red Bank Charter School becauseof its commitment to community
and to developing good social behaviors.
