6th Grade Students Head to Washington DC
The RCP 6th grade leadership group have been given the incredible opportunity to go to DC through the program Close Up. The students left on Sunday, June 3, 2017 and stay until Wednesday, June 7, 2017.
Close Up’s Middle School Programs are designed to give students hands-on opportunities to interact with government and history in Washington, DC. Close Up is more than just a tour. It is a fast-paced, fun-filled, and educational experience in one of the world’s most dynamic cities. The staff uses Washington’s key institutions and historic sites as interactive classrooms to help students explore the links between history and the rights and responsibilities of citizens today. https://www.closeup.org/program/middle-school

RCP Awarded 2016 California Honor Roll
On behalf of our entire school community I want to say congratulations to you and your kids! Our school was chosen by Educational Results Partnership (ERP) and the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE) as a 2016 California Honor Roll recipient!
The California Honor Roll is part of a national effort known for its extensive and rigorous analysis of student achievement in public schools. Our school stood above other schools in the state because of our success in getting students to grade level achievement and beyond.
RCP Fundraiser - Classroom Library
Help us prepare Richmond College Prep students to become life-long readers!!
RCP is currently a TK through 6th grade, Title I charter school located in Richmond, California and will be expanding to 7th and 8th grade over the next two years. Historically, we have experienced great academic success from our hardworking scholars, and our goal is to continue this success, but we need your help!
Next year, Richmond College Prep will be launching an engaging reading program called Reader's Workshop. While using the Reader's Workshop model, teachers will create a reading environment that encourages students to be active, lifelong, critical thinkers and readers. In order for our students to truly be successful, every class must have a complete library with leveled, high-interest books.
Jiu Jitsu Tournament
We want to give a huge congratulations to all of our students that competed this past weekend at the Grappling Arts Challenge in Santa Clara! It was the first tournament of the year and the first tournament for a lot of our kids in the program.
