TEAM Charter Schools

For too many young people in America, the place they were born is the best predictor of what their future holds. TEAM students learn on day one that their future is in their own hands. On day two, we start giving them the tools they need to make it a bright one.

TEAM Charter Schools is a network of four free, public charter schools offering Newark students a world-class education. We are part of the nationally recognized KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program) network and will soon be a full K-12 school system working to more than double the graduation rate in Newark.
