Overview

BelovED Community and its sister academy run tuition-free public charter schools for children from kindergarten through high school in Jersey City, New Jersey. BelovED pairs academic learning with values and character development inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. Both schools use sequenced curricula and regular assessments to identify learning needs and guide additional student support. They admit students through annual lotteries when demand exceeds available places, with waiting lists for other applicants. Based in Jersey City, BelovED opened in 2012 and its sister academy was founded in 2015; they maintain separate school identities and campuses.
