Welcome

Principal, Ms. Nami Kuwabara

Charles H. Bullock School is a vibrant, nurturing community of students, educators and families. Our mission is to inspire children to be lifelong learners by connecting teaching and learning meaningfully to the world around us. The school's integrated curriculum helps students to recognize that learning is not an isolated incident; rather, it is built upon connected experiences within the classroom and the outside world. Charles H. Bullock's child-centered learning environment seeks to foster values of personal, social and environmental responsibility.

Our magnet theme, environmental science, is interpreted in the broadest possible sense to encompass natural sciences and the human environment. Bullock’s environmental curriculum includes natural resources, adaptations, energy, biodiversity, life cycles, interrelationships, and much more. Students get first-hand experiences, making use of our gardens, taking field trips to Sandy Hook and the Meadowlands Environmental Center, camping overnight for the 4th graders, and participating in the Trout in the Classroom project.

Charles H. Bullock School met the rigorous requirements to achieve Sustainable Jersey for Schools Bronze certification in 2015, the program’s first year. To achieve the Bronze certification, CHB excelled in areas such as improving energy efficiency and health and wellness, integrating sustainability into student learning and reducing waste, which all align with CHB’s magnet theme. Sustainable Jersey for Schools, a certification program for public schools in New Jersey, was launched in October 2014, and is a program of Sustainable Jersey, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that provides tools, training and financial incentives to support and reward schools as they pursue sustainability programs.
