The DCF Regional School Monmouth Campus is a 12-month, state-operated alternative school designed to meet the diverse needs of students who are facing educational challenges. Our mission is to provide a supportive, student-centered learning environment in which every student is given a supported chance to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. We specialize in small class sizes, individualized instruction, and wraparound support services that help students build the skills necessary to transition successfully into public school settings, higher education, or the workforce. 

Each student receives an Individualized Program Plan (IPP) or Individualized Education Plan (IEP) tailored to their unique needs and goals. We provide transportation, breakfast, and lunch daily, and offer two core programs: the Transitional Education Center (TEC), which supports year-round academic instruction and personal development, and Project TEACH, which is designed to meet the educational and parenting needs of pregnant and parenting students. With a strong emphasis on personal growth, career readiness, and academic achievement, our dedicated staff works to empower students to reach their full potential and become responsible, self-sufficient members of their communities.
