Back-To-School Night

Parents/Guardians: 

Tonight, at 6:00 PM, the Academy for Urban Leadership will be holding its Back-to-School Night for the 2020-2021 school year.   

Meeting Link: Back-To-School Zoom Link  

After the opening comments,  you will follow your child’s daily school schedule.  To meet with the teachers,  you must use your child’s  AUL  username and password to access  Google  Classroom and  ZOOM  (video conferencing).  The link to meet with the teacher is inside each of the Google Classrooms,  which is how your child meets with his/her teachers daily.  If you do not use your child’s  AUL  login credentials,  you will not be able to access the classroom and meeting, as it is a  security feature intended to prevent unauthorized visitors from entering. We look forward to seeing all of you there! 

Please download the schedule and instructions [English & Spanish].

Dear Academy for Urban Leadership Charter School Family,

I am excited to announce that Peter Salek Nejad was appointed as Acting Lead Administrator of AUL, effective immediately. At Wednesday’s Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Board also accepted the resignation of our former Lead, Margaret Morales. We thank Ms. Morales for her time at AUL and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

As AUL moves forward with final preparations for the start of the school year, we would like to reaffirm that AUL is committed to ensuring that our students receive the highest quality education during these unprecedented times. AUL will strive to empower those who are at the forefront of developing our students - our teachers and parents. [Please read more]

Board Approved - Education Service & Reopening Plan 2020-2021

Our AUL Education Service Plan - Reopening School 2020-2021 will consist of three phases:

Phase 1: School will open on Tuesday, September 8 in a home-based virtual learning format for all students. The After-School Tutoring Program will take place every Tuesday through Friday, from 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM. The 21st Century After-School Enrichment Program will take place every Monday through Friday, from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM. All After-School Programs will be online until Phase 2.

Phase 2: School will open with a hybrid model of school-based (in the building) instruction two days per week and home-based virtual. Families continue to have the option of home-based virtual learning. Based on guidance from the Department of Health, CDC, and state and local municipality, Phase 2 will tentatively begin on Monday, November 16.

Phase 3: School will fully reopen for school-based learning (Date: To be determined). [Please click here to download the entire plan.]

Founded in 2010 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, the Academy for Urban Leadership Charter School is one of Middlesex County's comprehensive Public Charter Schools that serves students in seventh through twelfth grades. The school operates under the terms of a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education.

When the school first opened in 2010, it did not have the books, tables, or classrooms necessary for students to be in an adequate learning environment. Even the principal, at the time, had to serve as a lunch aide. Since then, AUL has developed to help students receive the education they deserve. AUL has expanded by opening two new campuses, expecting to provide the opportunity for students to continue to succeed, with graduation and college admission, as two of its goals.

AUL offers an advanced academic track and AP courses.

AUL Mission: To employ an educational design and experience that merges the highest standards of academic excellence while fostering convictions and commitment to social and economic justice.
