ELYSIAN CHARTER SCHOOL

Elysian Charter School is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Elysian Charter School school district, located in HOBOKEN, NJ with about 290 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 25 teachers, Elysian Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Elysian Charter School, located at 1460 Garden Street in Hoboken, New Jersey, is a tuition-free public charter school serving students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Founded in 1997, it was one of the first charter schools in New Jersey and is well-regarded for its commitment to a progressive, child-centered educational philosophy. The school emphasizes a holistic approach to learning, focusing not only on rigorous academics but also on social-emotional development, community involvement, and the cultivation of critical thinking skills.

The school is known for its intimate, community-oriented atmosphere, which is supported by small class sizes and an integrated curriculum that encourages hands-on, project-based learning. Elysian places a strong value on parent involvement and maintains a diverse, inclusive environment that seeks to foster a lifelong love of learning in its students.
