What We Are About Character Education
Mission Statement

The Union County TEAMS Charter School for Technology, Engineering, Architecture, Mathematics and Science is a small learning community where all students achieve high academic standards by using the built environment as a learning laboratory. Students will gain the tools and confidence necessary for successful high school experiences, post-secondary education, and the world of work; will interact with professionals in the construction community, and will manifest by their experiential learning, “We Are Community Builders.”

"We are Community Builders"
Students will:
  • Learn leadership qualities and exhibit them in their character-both manner and demeanor through the Leadership Institute for Future Talent (LIFT).

  • Discover their relevance in community building, restoration and renewal.

  • Gain a healthy respect for themselves as individuals in a competitive society while experiencing core values and morals within a small, stable community with common living bonds.

  • Learn to manage and resolve conflict both personal and otherwise through personal development and peer relationships.

  • Discover a new found pride in their community along with knowledge of its rich heritage through the study of and contact with its people and their many accomplishments.
Philosophy

The standards based curriculum at UC TEAMS aligned with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS) is implemented through an interdisciplinary thematic unit approach to help K-12 students acquire the knowledge and develop the problem solving skills required for today’s changing and challenging times. Integral to all thematic units is instruction that addresses the “built environment.” Students learn how the NJCCCS are integrated into the everyday fabric of their lives and the built environment.
