Achievers Early College Prep Charter School (AECP) is New Jersey’s first public charter school for students in grades 6-12 that provides them with the unique opportunity to take a two-year course of study in STEAM fields following the 10th grade, enabling them to redefine the high school experience and graduate with skills, experiences, and content mastery that’s significant to them in the market place and the world beyond.
We believe this provides students with opportunities to develop their intellectual, emotional and social potential that fosters their transition to college and industry.
At Achievers Early College Prep, our Middle School program provides students in grades 6–8 with a rigorous, standards-aligned foundation in English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and STEAM. Students engage in hands-on learning, problem-solving, collaboration, and real-world applications that prepare them for the academic demands of high school.
Our instructional program uses assessment data, student work, and daily checks for understanding to identify individual strengths and learning needs. Students receive targeted intervention in English language arts and mathematics, along with differentiated support for multilingual learners and students with disabilities.
Culturally responsive teaching is an important part of the Achievers experience. Teachers create opportunities for students to connect learning to their identities, cultures, backgrounds, and lived experiences. Through challenging coursework, strong relationships, and a supportive culture of belonging, we help students build confidence, independence, and strong academic habits.

Students participate in a rigorous college-preparatory program while strengthening their critical-thinking, communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills across all content areas.
Through dual enrollment and partnerships with colleges and universities, eligible students can complete college-level courses and earn college credits while still in high school. These opportunities introduce students to college-level expectations, help reduce the time and cost of earning a degree, and support a successful transition to postsecondary education.
Students can also connect their academic learning to future careers through our CTE pathways in Health Sciences, Graphic Design, Audio Engineering, and Information Technology/Cybersecurity. These programs provide hands-on learning, exposure to industry practices, and opportunities to earn recognized credentials. Teachers use assessment data, student work, intervention, and targeted support to ensure students remain on track for graduation and are prepared for college, career training, or direct entry into the workforce.
