Mission: Link community charter school (the charter school) will provide an outstanding middle school education for learners of all academic abilities by developing the mind, body and spirit through a strong curriculum, experiential learning, immersion in the arts, and an enduring commitment to core values; this will allow them to be successful in competitive high schools and become responsible and resourceful citizens who give back to others.
Programs: With a 45-year independent school legacy, link community charter school is a conversion school, approved on july 15, 2014, only the second approved conversion in the state of new jersey. Given its longstanding history, the school is uniquely positioned with a strong tradition of academic excellence, high school placement, and service to the community. The conversion provided an opportunity to grow the school and thus increase student enrollment with a goal of 18 students per community (four communities in each grade level) and the addition of both 5th grade and 6th grade, eventually doubling the size of the school. In the 2016-2017 school year, the school took on the following major initiatives: adding a 6th grade for 76 students, and creating necessary curriculum, programming, systems and procedures to support such; and hiring a talented staff of professionals and service personnel to support the mission.
the charter school provided nutritionally balanced, low cost or free meals to students each school day through its breakfast and lunch programs. The programs are federally and state assisted.
