Established in 2001 by the New Community Corporation, Lady Liberty Academy Charter School serves students primarily from the Newark School District.

Our student population of 461 students in grades K to 8 is 90% African American, 10% Hispanic.

The majority of our students qualify for free or reduced-fee lunch programs.

We offer an extended school year of 190 days and a longer school day beginning at 8:00 a.m. and ending at 4:00 p.m.

Our Mission

The Lady Liberty Academy faculty is dedicated to a mission that calls on teachers to grow and empower students to create and fulfill their dreams:

"To have all children be active learners who participate in constructing knowledge and understanding; and provide them with the necessary resources and learning opportunities so they can transform their thoughts into concrete tools that can be used to shape and control their environment."

Our school mission enables both staff members and students alike to work towards their full potential each day. Students strive for excellence, grow and develop in a positive, supportive, and collaborative atmosphere. In this way, everyone experiences success as well as develop an intrinsic love for life-long learning. LLACS seeks to provide a high performing Science, Math and Technology school for its students.
