The mission of the Bradley Beach Education Foundation is to ensure the highest level of educational innovation supporting students, faculty and staff with community involvement in a partnership of lifetime learning and development.

Bradley Beach Elementary School (BBES) stands as a cornerstone of opportunity and educational excellence in central New Jersey, merely five blocks from the scenic beachfront. Our school, serving a diverse group of students from preschool through eighth grade, is more than just a learning space—it is a thriving hub where young minds are nurtured to their fullest potential.

BBES is home to approximately 200 students, a community reflecting the rich diversity of our society. Notably, over half of our student body, at 54.5%, is economically disadvantaged, highlighting the critical role that financial aid, grants, and donations play in sustaining and enhancing the quality of our educational offerings. This significant demographic underscores our urgent appeal for support to ensure that every student, regardless of financial background, has access to the rigorous academic programs that BBES is proud to offer.

Our academic curriculum is robust, designed to support college and career readiness from an early stage. We offer a range of programs including Gifted & Talented, ESL, Reading Intervention, Advanced Math Courses, and Math Intervention, all tailored to meet the varied needs of our students. The efficacy of these programs is reflected in our students' achievements and their readiness to face the challenges of higher education and beyond.

Beyond academics, BBES fosters a well-rounded educational experience through a vibrant array of athletics, clubs, and performing arts groups. We host six sports teams, including baseball, softball, basketball, cheerleading, soccer, and running—programs that encourage teamwork, discipline, and physical health. Our nine clubs and activities, including a Newspaper, Computer Club, Student Council, Environmental Club, and the National Junior Honor Society, cultivate leadership, environmental stewardship, and a sense of community responsibility among our students.

The arts play a significant role at BBES, with six performing arts groups like the Drama Club, Band, Bleacher Breakers, Guitar Ensemble, Chorus, and Percussion Ensemble. These programs not only enhance our students' cultural literacy but also provide them with a platform to express their creativity and build confidence.

As we strive to nurture the next generation of leaders and innovators, the reality of our economic landscape presents challenges that we must overcome together. The support of donors and grants is not just beneficial—it is essential in providing the resources that our economically disadvantaged students need to thrive. Your contributions enable us to maintain and expand our academic and extracurricular programs, providing our students with the opportunities they deserve.

In a community as diverse and vibrant as Bradley Beach, BBES is committed to being an institution where every student is given the chance to succeed. Through your support, we can continue to break down the barriers to education that financial constraints may pose and build a stronger, more educated, and more inclusive future for all our students.

In unity with our community and with heartfelt gratitude, we ask for your support in empowering the youth of Bradley Beach Elementary School.
