| Overview: |
TEAM Schools Background The mission of TEAM Schools is to create a network of schools in Newark, New Jersey, that instill in their students the desire and the ability to succeed in college, in order to change the world. Our schools are part of the national network of KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program). Since 2002, TEAM Schools has developed two middle schools, one high school, and one brand new elementary school, serving over 750 students. TEAM students spend 70% more time in the classroom than students in traditional Newark public schools with longer days, Saturday school and summer school. TEAM students are held to the highest codes of conduct and work together as a team and family.
