You are Outspoken and Real

You are passionate, vocal, and bold, unabashedly and authentically YOU - and proud of it. You are genuinely committed to building meaningful relationships with students, families, and staff, and aren’t afraid of a little tough-love honesty when it comes to putting your students first.

You Provide a Sense of Belonging

You lead with open arms and an open heart, and believe in the importance of equity and inclusivity. You treat co-workers, students, parents, volunteers, donors, and the greater community “like family” because we’re all in this together.

About Us

Foundation Academies was founded in 2007 with one middle school. Since then, we have grown to serve more than 1,100 students, operating with four schools on two campuses.

We are proud to be the largest and highest-ranking K-12 free public charter school in New Jersey's capital city: Trenton.

We were founded with the vision of a world where every child, irrespective of race, gender, or socioeconomic background, has access to a high-quality public education – and we work relentlessly to live up to this promise.

Why Teach at Foundation Academies?

Because Opportunities This Good Only Come Along Once

It’s not just about developing the skills of students. At Foundation Academies, it’s also about developing yourself. This district is not a revolving door. The people who work here often stay here, and together, cultivate and refine their craft as lifelong educators and learners.

Teachers have a voice, and because of that, we have developed a culture that we refer to as “FAmily”—because once you’re here, that’s what you join: a family that makes an impact. Every. Single. Day.

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY and INCLUSION

At Foundation Academies, we believe that when we can bring our whole selves to work on a day-to-day basis, we become happier, more comfortable, and more confident. In turn, that strong sense of self translates to happier and more confident students. Foundation aims to build internal teams with talent from all different backgrounds and lifestyles so that our students can see a wide variety of what success looks like across gender, race, religion, ethnicity, gender expression, and other markers of identity.
