About this school

Newark Educators Community Charter School is a tuition-free public charter school serving Pre-K3 through 4th grade at a single campus on Fulton Street in downtown Newark. Founded by Newark public school teachers, it focuses on early childhood and elementary education, including a free preschool program for Newark residents.

Programs and services reported by the school:

Early-childhood specialization: a developmentally focused curriculum with purposeful play, early phonics, and hands-on discovery, one of few charter options offering free Pre-K3.
Small school community: close educator-parent relationships and a family-resource program including food pantry referrals and basic-needs assistance.
Partnership: a formal collaboration with Kean University.

No tuition and no entrance exam. Siblings of enrolled students receive priority in the Newark Common App lottery.
