School Structure
Foundation Academy has modeled its structure after North Star Academy Charter School and TEAM Academy Charter School, both of which are located in Newark, New Jersey.
It operates on longer school days for a longer school year than the local district schools. The school day runs from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm and every school year is scheduled to run for at least 200 days, whereas the local districts typically run their days from 8:30 am to 2:45 pm for no less than 180 days, the mandated minimum by the state of New Jersey.
Students are required to wear school uniforms.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or structure:
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
“Who says that fictions only and false hair
Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
Is all good structure in a winding stair?
May no lines pass, except they do their duty
Not to a true, but painted chair?”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
