A Network of KIPP Schools

Welcome to TEAM Academy A KIPP School, Part of the TEAM Schools Network

TEAM Academy is a high-performing public charter school and the flagship campus of the TEAM Schools network in Newark, NJ. Founded in 2002 and located in the South Ward of the city, TEAM students have outperformed their peers in Newark on state standardized testing every year in every grade and subject.

Though they entered TEAM on average 2-3 years behind grade level, every member of the founding class was accepted into a private or parochial high school and those students are now studying at such schools as Phillips Exeter Academy, Deerfield Academy, and the Loomis Chaffee School on their way to college. They paved the way for the growth of the network and proved what is possible for the students of Newark.

TEAM Academy serves 360 students in grades 5-8, and is instilling in them the desire and the ability to succeed in college, in order to change the world.
