The Ethical Community Charter School Foundation, Inc.

In 2001, The Ethical Community Charter School Foundation, Inc. was incorporated for the purpose of conceiving, planning, and developing a kind of public education heretofore not available to inner city children. Its schools would be safe and caring communities where ethics, service, and social justice would be the principles informing every aspect of school life; where teachers would lead and collaborate with students in a culture of rigorous academics and mutual respect; where analytic thinking and creativity would be prized over rote learning; and where children would become individuals of integrity, insight, autonomy - and socially productive citizens, workers, leaders.

Its efforts have led to the creation of two public charter schools, The Ethical Community Charter School - New York and The Ethical Community Charter School - Jersey City. These schools, each with its own board of trustees and school leadership, share the same educational philosophy.
