North Star Academy Schools

North Star Academy Charter School is one of New Jersey's very first charter public schools, and after a decade has also become one of its most celebrated. Our mission is to serve Newark children by building an uncommon school where students partake of a rigorous, 11-month, extended day, academic program that gives them the means to beat the odds in school and life.
