The Trillium Foundation for Education and Sustainability is a non-profit group that has come together to found the Trillium Charter School in Hunterdon County, New Jersey.  Our mission is guided by three commitments: to each learner as an individual, as a member of families and communities, and to the Earth.

We will be holding our second annual silent auction to benefit the Trillium Charter School on Saturday March 20, 2010.

Educational Philosophy

While putting together the application, there were times when we all wondered about some of the information the state was asking for. But in the midst of that, the application also held the reason why we are doing this work. Section 3 of the Implementation Plan asks for a narrative detailing the school's educational philosophy.  Our answer (see Educational Philosophy), is why this school is so important to all of us.
