Nearly 100 women joined together recently at Link Community Charter School for its annual Mind Body Spirit Breakfast, a tradition that brings together women for a morning dedicated to connection, mentorship, and self-care.

"Seeing how my boys have thrived at Robert Treat Academy has proven to me that I’ve made the right decision. Their teachers are incredibly attentive and responsive, and I know that the school’s administration has my children’s best interests at heart. For that, I am forever grateful.";

"It is important that elected leaders support quality education options like Great Oaks. That is why I remain an advocate for my school and other public charter schools in New Jersey, even after I’ve graduated."

TJ Best, senior advisor for the New Jersey Public Charter Schools Association, praised the progress: “While there is still work to do, our remarkable public charter school educators deserve recognition for the undeniable progress our students have made... They’ve accelerated learning and provided strong social and emotional supports for our students, particularly students of color in our urban districts. We must follow the data and replicate what works because our students deserve the best.”

In addition to offering students opportunities to develop their individual interests in dozens of different areas, North Star’s team of college counselors work to ensure students’ dream schools are affordable.
