Located in Newark, New Jersey, Roseville Community Charter School (RCCS) is a tuition-free public charter school serving grades K–5. RCCS’s mission is to empower scholars with the character, discipline, and academic excellence needed to succeed in high school, college, and beyond, operating on the belief that a child’s zip code should never limit their educational opportunity.
RCCS’s culture is anchored in the theory of efficacy—that success grows through hard work—and driven by its CHEER core values: Collaboration, Honesty, Excellence, Effort, and Respect.
The school delivers a holistic, technology-rich educational experience combining rigorous STEM and literacy instruction with Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and 1:1 laptop access. Through strong family events, local community partnerships, and small class sizes, RCCS maintains a safe, structured, and supportive environment where every scholar can thrive.
Roseville Community Charter School is anchored in 5 core values that we refer to as CHEER:
Malika Jackson-Manderville, Principal of Roseville Community Charter School, brings a longstanding commitment to Newark’s charter school community and extensive experience in classroom teaching, instructional coaching, curriculum development, and school and network leadership. Her expertise includes strengthening literacy instruction, developing teachers, using student data to guide learning, and building meaningful family partnerships. She holds a master’s degree in Educational Leadership, Management and Policy from Seton Hall University and a bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education with a focus on English Literature from William Paterson University. At RCCS, Mrs. Jackson-Manderville champions high expectations, engaging instruction, and a safe, welcoming environment where every scholar is supported academically, socially, and emotionally. She believes that collaboration among educators, families, and the community helps children become confident, independent learners.
RCCS provides a comprehensive, balanced literacy program that integrates Wilson Fundations, LLI, Read 180, and McGraw Hill Wonders to deliver evidence-based, standards-aligned instruction tailored to scholars’ individual learning needs. Through targeted reading interventions, multisensory instruction, and individualized summer learning opportunities, the school addresses skill gaps, supports scholars at risk of reading difficulties, and strengthens foundational literacy skills. Additionally, Kindergarten Transition Prep and early screening help identify academic and developmental needs before school entry, ensuring scholars receive timely support for a strong start to their educational journey.
RCCS is committed to closing academic achievement gaps through a multi-tiered approach that combines high-impact tutoring, daily targeted small-group instruction, and ongoing data-driven instructional adjustments in Math and ELA. By integrating core curricula with specialized resources such as TouchMath, Lexia Core5, and Lexia English, the school provides differentiated learning experiences that address the unique needs of scholars, including Multilingual Learners and students with IEPs. This individualized approach strengthens foundational skills, promotes academic growth, and ensures scholars have equitable access to the resources and support needed to succeed.
Roseville Community Charter School’s unique social-emotional learning (SEL) program integrates Responsive Classroom, the Bucket-Filler philosophy, Second Step, and DESSA to foster a positive school culture, strengthen relationships, and address each scholar’s individual social-emotional needs. Through our signature SELF & Wellness (Social Emotional Learning Fun & Wellness) program, scholars develop essential skills in self-awareness, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, mindfulness, and positive peer interactions. Sustained through community partnerships and staff expertise, this comprehensive approach empowers scholars to build resilience, strengthen their sense of belonging, and thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
