Our Charter School

We are delighted to announce the forthcoming launch of a brand-new charter school in Freehold, New Jersey, offering a novel approach to learning for the 21st century. The Four Rivers STEAM Charter School is committed to fostering student engagement in the arts and sciences through project-based, hands-on learning, catering to our students' diverse learning needs and multilingual backgrounds.

In our early years, we prioritize reading and math skills using a specially designed curriculum for learners with diverse needs, including English language learners, dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, and various learning disabilities.

Our curriculum emphasizes skill development, critical thinking, analysis, and integration of multiple subject matters, combined with experiential learning, hands-on activities, and collaborative learning experiences.

Our nurturing environment empowers students to thrive, as our teachers tailor their instruction to meet the unique needs of each student. The result is a learning experience that not only engages but also inspires, with tangible outcomes that showcase each student's progress.

Pending NJ DOE approval, our school is slated to open in September 2026. As we work towards approval, we invite the community to join us in shaping the future of education. Please visit our website and sign our petition to demonstrate your support. We welcome signatures from parents, guardians, and community members alike.

Together, let's bring this innovative school to life, located in the heart of Freehold on RT 9 in Freehold Township.
