We are deeply committed in all aspects of our scholars’ learning
by providing a quality education using the Highly Effective
Teaching model, LIFESKILLS to promote positive relationships, and
implementing the Common Core State Standards. At NJB, scholars
are fully engaged in their thinking and demonstrate mastery of
learning effectively. Our goal is to guide children to become
fully participating citizens by giving them a strong academic
education in a nurturing environment that recognizes diversity,
promotes healthy choices, positive mindset, and embraces
community involvement.
NJB is proud to state that “we are the only dependent charter in
SCUSD to be built with love, commitment, dedication, and passion
for an academic school of excellence that supports our
children, families and their community.”
Our founders, listed below, worked tenaciously to petition, build
and open the very school they envisioned:
Arthur Aleman. Retired carpenter, U.S. Navy veteran, school
district advisory committee/PTA President/Member of Steering
Committee, guardian of 11-year old granddaughter in the school
district.
“Our NJB vision is to create a quality education program through
a variety of learning intelligences to prepare scholars for the
21st Century.”
1. Improve academic and social outcomes through ethical
practices.
2. Create a school culture that emits social and
educational responsibility and involves parents, scholars and
staff.
3. Foster communication and positive relationships between
school personnel, scholars, parents and community.
4. All persons will take personal responsibility and
accountability for their actions and the actions of others.
5. Have a school climate in which every scholar, parent,
and teacher is willing to help one’s neighbor, respectful of all
people around them, and is willing to be the light in the
darkness.
Our mission is to develop responsible, respectful, and proactive
citizens to become caretakers of our community, our state, our
country, and our planet. This begins with our concept for the New
Joseph Bonnheim (NJB) being centered on agriculture and on the
very community it serves.
To succeed in accomplishing our mission, we will abide by our NJB
Standards, utilizing the Five B’s, implementing a positive
character education program, and creating a scholar- centered
learning environment.
