About

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.

Our Vision

“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.
