Carson School is a controlled, caring, creative environment.  It offers its students comprehensive educational programs in a modern, state of the art facility.  Many programs are provided to meet the needs of all students. Project SOAR (Students Outreach for Academic Results) utilizes student volunteers to provide reinforcement activities for grades one to three students who have been recommended by their teacher. A NJ Ask Tutoring Program is taught by certified teachers to provide extra test preparation to third and fourth grade students.  Buddying between grade levels helps to promote camaraderie between all students. Several Parent/ student Math and Language Arts nights are also provided.

The district's Gifted Child Resource Room Program is housed at Carson School. Students who participate are recommended by their classroom teacher based on academic achievement. Placement in the program depends upon the results of multifaceted criteria, which includes testing. The children selected for the program are given the opportunity to reach their maximum potential and explore new domains of knowledge.

In addition to the academic and supplemental offerings, student incentive programs are incorporated to motivate and build school spirit. A "Student of the Month" program is used to recognize the achievement of outstanding students. The students are selected by their classroom teachers using criteria established by the school staff. A homework and good behavior award is awarded to each classroom, kindergarten through four, on a monthly basis. A schoolwide goal: "Be Kind To Each Other" is our objective.

Carson School provides various specialty and enrichment days or programs throughout the year. These activities help to build school pride and enrich the students’ learning experience.

  • Carson School gives students an opportunity to participate in student government through the Student Council. The students in each classroom elect representatives. The Student Council meets monthly and fosters benevolent projects and school spirit activities. The student council also organizes a variety of spirit days throughout the school year.
  • To promote harmony among students and provide alternatives to fighting, Carson School offers a Conflict Resolution Program for all students. The program provides training for students in grade three and four to act as Peace Keepers.
  • Parental involvement and the PTA are exceptional. The PTA sponsors a cultural arts program, and invites students to perform concerts for its general meetings. Parental support and participation in school activities is positive.
