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’m tired of playing worn-out depressing ladies in frayed bathrobes. I’m going to get a new hairdo and look terrific and go back to school and even if nobody notices, I’m going to be the most self-fulfilled lady on the block.”
—Joanne Woodward (b. 1930)
“Each structure and institution here was so primitive that you could at once refer it to its source; but our buildings commonly suggest neither their origin nor their purpose.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
