Founded in 1999, Liberty Academy Charter School’s educational goal is to prepare students to be creative, intuitive and analytical thinkers with a solid understanding of the history of ideas. The school facilitates the learning process within an environment that encourages high ethical and academic standards and reinforces the positive values taught at home. September 2009 marks the “10th Year Anniversary” of Liberty Academy Charter School. We remain excited, committed and dedicated to providing effective and efficient education to all students who are serviced by our school.

Our population of 306 students in grades K through 8 are drawn primarily from and representative of the diverse and multi-cultural Jersey City School District. Our school year constitutes 187 days with the instructional day beginning at 8:30 and ending at 3:15 p.m. Our course offering includes but not limited to the following: Mathematics, English, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Physical Education, Art, and Media Library Services. We are in the process of infusing technology across the curriculum. Each classroom has at least three (3) computers that are networked through the school’s server. Additionally, in alignment with our approved technology plan submitted to the state, Liberty Academy has purchased smart boards for each classroom to be used as an effective tool in the facilitation of lesson objectives/goals. The school also offers after school care, after-school (Title I) tutoring, enrichment programs and clubs.

Liberty Academy Charter School utilizes the hands-on or “constructivist” approach to teaching and learning. Liberty Academy Charter School believes that character development and personal management skills should form the basis for schooling and students must be empowered to take responsibility for their own learning and development. Therefore, we place great emphasis on character development as evidenced by banners and student work (project-based) throughout the building.
