The Learning Community Charter School

Mission Statement-The Learning Community Charter School is dedicated to developing in its students a passion for democracy, a commitment to public service, the habits and rewards of hard work, and the hunger for learning. At the Learning Community Charter School, we recognize that tolerance, thoughtful debate, and community involvement, which are essential for democracy to flourish, are not innate. In fact, they must be taught, exercised, and owned. In partnership with community institutions, we will teach students drawn from all the racial, ethnic, and economic diversity of Jersey City to be active and successful citizens of the interdependent world of the 21st century. Our students will leave the Learning Community Charter School capable of understanding, practicing and embracing the principles and habits of democracy, and able to prosper in the rapidly changing and technologically advanced global economy.
