Director’s Welcome

Link Community Charter School, New Jersey, Enrollment

Give Your Child a Link to a Bright Future!

Dear prospective families,

We are excited that you are considering Link Community Charter School…

as the next step in your child’s educational journey. As you come to know more about the school, I am confident that you will recognize that the wonderful learning environment with small class size, a dedicated and caring staff and the many great opportunities available will really benefit your child.

“I’m so glad I made the choice for my child to attend Link…” — A Link Parent

Link is proud to have served the youth of Newark and the surrounding area for over 40 years. Approximately 2500 students have graduated from Link – students who came to the school demonstrating a desire to be in a rigorous, college-bound academic program that emphasizes the core values of respect, responsibility, caring, honesty, doing one’s best and following directions. Our students leave Link well prepared for high school and beyond.

As for the ideal candidate, Link seeks students for the 5th through 8th grades who are motivated, enthusiastic, and willing to work hard. Because we are a “community,” we expect families to be actively involved in the school and supportive of the high expectations of our program.

The best way for you to learn more about Link is to visit! If you are interested, please call me to arrange a time when you and your child are available to see our school in action and to talk about the possibilities Link offers.

We hope to see you soon!

Sincerely,

Greg Silver — Director of Admission & High School Placement
