Who We Are
Connect Community Charter School is a Redwood City elementary school and middle school started in 2013 by a group of local parents and educators to provide an inclusive learning community dedicated to empowering students through a rigorous and relevant curriculum that prepares them for future success. We prioritize small classrooms, bilingual support, academic enrichment, and social-emotional learning to ensure all students, especially English learners, thrive.
Connect's small community allows all students to be seen and recognized for their strengths as well as supported in their growth. We are dedicated to fostering curiosity, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging, preparing students for success in school and beyond.

What We Provide at Connect
A Safe and Caring Community
Connect Community Charter School fosters a deeply caring community where students, families, and staff feel supported and connected. As a small elementary school and middle school, Connect prioritizes strong relationships, open communication, and a welcoming environment for all. This commitment is reflected in our impressive 90% staff retention rate, demonstrating that our educators feel valued, respected, and committed to our shared mission. Together, we create a nurturing school culture where every child is known, challenged, and celebrated.
Special Education
Connect offers a full-inclusion Special Education model, and enrollment is open to all students in elementary school and middle school with an IEP. We ensure that students with diverse learning needs receive the specialized instruction and resources necessary to succeed, and our dedicated team collaborates closely with families.
Academic Rigor and Literacy Support
At Connect, teachers implement the Common Core State Standards through a variety of approaches, from creative hands-on experiences to more traditional lecture formats. We focus on giving students a variety of ways to learn grade level material and many options for showing their learning. Connect also has a literacy specialist who trains teachers and staff members on the most current Science of Reading methods to ensure that our students are learning to read and write proficiently. Students who need extra help also have many opportunities to receive small group or one-on-one instruction.
Here are some resources related to Literacy and Dyslexia if you would like to learn more about those subjects.
Mental Health and Wellness:
At Connect Community Charter School, we prioritize the mental and emotional well-being of our students by providing comprehensive support tailored to their needs. With a full-time counselor and a full-time school-based therapist, we offer individual and group counseling, social-emotional learning programs, and mindfulness practices to help students navigate challenges. In response to the growing mental health crisis among youth, we are committed to fostering resilience, strengthening coping skills, and ensuring that every child has access to the support they need to thrive.
Before and After School Care
Thanks to generous state grants, we are able to offer morning and after school care at no cost to our families, opening at 7:30AM and closing at 6PM. Snack is provided at no cost in the afternoons under the Federal CACFP program. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
In the words of a former Connect student...
"I really liked Connect because it got me prepared for high school...I feel a lot more confident about high school. I liked the teachers, staff, and the overall community. They’ll be supportive and, if you have questions, they are there to answer. There’s always someone you could lean on."
