Trillium Charter School

Finally! A FREE PUBLIC school that holistically honors children's natural curiosity and love for learning, is rooted in experiential- project-based learning, has small class size, multi-age classrooms, AND holds a strong commitment to health and environmental sustainability.

Founded by a group of concerned educators and parents, Trillium Charter School will open its doors in September 2012 to students from the districts of Flemington-Raritan, Readington, and Hillsborough, and the surrounding region.

"To fulfill our students' potential, we are responsible to develop them not only academically and intellectually, but also physically, emotionally, and socially. Through community service and outdoor education, our students cultivate an appreciation of their vital roles as members of families and communities, and as stewards of the Earth. We strive to empower our children to make positive decisions in regard to their own education and growth, as well as to the sustainability of the interdependent world around them."

Other progressive schools in the area include The Waldorf School of Princeton and Montessori. Though I think both schools are awesome and if I had children I would happily send them to either one, they are private and therefor less accessible for families. The Trillium Charter school is the only one in the area that I know of that will offer both RESPECTABLE* AND FREE* education for children.

Rock on Trillium!
