Charter schools are tuition-free public schools. These schools serve the communities they are located within by providing alternatives to the traditional public school. Each school differs based on their guiding theme or mission. Admission to charter schools is accomplished by a random lottery drawing. Some schools also require an audition or portfolio review.

Below is a geographical list of the 121 charter schools located in New Jersey. Access a complete list of charter schools across the United States, plus charter school support organizations by visiting the Examiner Charter Schools Directory Hub.
