THE GRAY CHARTER SCHOOL

Commenced implementation in the 2000-2001 school year and recently completed its 15th year of operation.

The Gray Charter School's mission is to provide its diverse student body the best possible education by focusing on the fundamental academic disciplines in an atmosphere that affirms academic achievements, and in so doing, to offer the community true choice in public education. In kindergarten through eighth grade, a solid foundation must be built for a lifetime of learning. We believe that committed and dedicated teachers can make every child an achiever. We believe in making the poor student good and good student superior. We will be molding students for the future by making today different. The classroom is a workshop where all children find the opportunity to give might to their brains. Children will be encouraged to never let the bad conquer the good, thus enabling them with power to go through life with clear and uncluttered channels.

The school's district of residence is Newark. Therefore, all children must be living in Newark, NJ in order to attend The Gray Charter School.
