Bradley Gardens Primary School is home to 275 students in Grades K-4. We are located within the neighborhood of Bradley Gardens in Bridgewater, NJ. We believe that education needs to be challenging with observable standards of achievement and accountability for all children. It should create a knowledge base that fosters an iterative process of learning throughout the student’s life, knowledge that will lead to a successful career. We strive as a school to observe the child carefully, find areas of strength, and work to both encourage and scaffold that learning.
Bradley Gardens believes in nurturing the whole child, not just the mind. The children are provided a safe, caring and challenging environment. Through our Character Education Program, Second Step, children are encouraged to achieve their personal best, through principles of equity and diversity. Classrooms build community through the Responsive Classroom approach in morning meeting. Every month, students can be nominated as “Student of the Month.” Monthly, the entire school-body gathers in the auditorium for a school wide meeting. These meetings are held to celebrate the achievement of our students and staff. Together, we sing, practice our audience expectations, and focus on strengthening our community of learners.
