ABOUT CJCP
The Central Jersey College Prep Charter
School (CJCP) is a nonsectarian public school for young men and women from
grades 6 through 12. It is funded by public sources and is operated independently
by a board of trustees under a charter granted by the Commissioner of
Education. The School is located in the Region of New Brunswick,
The purpose of the CJCP is to fully prepare students to carry the
torch of knowledge, freedom, and prosperity that has been passed down from
generation to generation. The CJCP will be a small, structured school, with 336
students attending at full enrollment.
It will deliver a rigorous educational program to develop and sharpen
the skills necessary to formulate a question or define an issue. They will learn to find relevant information
using appropriate tools and to evaluate it through critical thinking and
quantitative analysis, on the basis of which they will solve problems and make
decisions. They will be able to organize
and present their work both orally and in written or graphic form.
In recognition of the enormous
stresses of modern life, families will be supported in contributing to the
success of their children's education, which in turn can contribute to the
quality of family life. The school will
stress an atmosphere of trust, safety, structure, open communication, and
ownership through the use of community service learning, class meetings,
assemblies, workshops, community open houses, student performances, and
student/teacher/parent goal-setting and assessments.
