Established in 2004, Robbinsville High School is built upon the values of respect, achievement, vision, diverse experiences, and success. The school community is comprised of 900+ students, supportive parents, and dedicated professionals; each sharing the common goal of leveraging academic and extra-curricular programs to open wide doors of opportunity for every student. Students benefit from being able to take eight courses each year, which are scheduled within a four period A/B block school day. A wide range of extra-curricular activities, including athletics, is available to students after school making the school campus a place that rarely slows down.
The RHS program of studies contains a full complement of courses including advanced placement courses in most academic disciplines. With 76% of Robbinsville students moving on to 4 year colleges and 22% moving on to 2 year colleges upon graduation, our program of studies is designed to offer deep and meaningful experiences within a rigorous curriculum. For example, in a course entitled Research in Molecular Biology juniors and seniors partake in authentic research cloning and sequencing the genome of a species selected by the Rutgers Waksman Institute. Twice during the course of the year, students are required to present their findings, the results of which are published.
Robbinsville High School enjoys a unique partnership with Princeton University. Princeton provides coursework to those students meeting the highest levels of success in our school’s most challenging programs.
