About Us

Rockaway Collegiate High School opened in September 2011 in the Beach Channel Educational Campus to give students extra time and support to help them succeed in high school and beyond. To aid this, Rockaway is a community school providing an array of services for students and their families in collaboration with Partnership with Children.

Rockaway Collegiate High School strives to establish and cultivate a culturally responsive school where student achievement is its core focus driven by a supportive learning environment that fosters excellence in providing a 21st century education -- collaboration and teamwork, creativity and imagination, and critical thinking and problem solving. Integral to accomplishing our mission is students interfacing with classroom technology and using instructional materials that are as diverse as the world around them. Each curriculum unit and lesson plan will develop students’ critical thinking skills through writing.

At Rockaway Collegiate High School, we are committed to actively developing students’ critical thinking and analytical skills while utilizing reading and writing as a tool to solve real world problems.

At Rockaway Collegiate High School, we are committed to cultivating responsible, compassionate, honest, and skilled leaders who aspire to positively impact the world.

Our school motto is: To College and Beyond…
