Foundation Academy is an independent, "No Excuses" college preparatory middle school in Trenton, New Jersey. We opened in August 2007, currently serve 200 students in grades 5-8 and plan to expand to grades K-12 over the next decade. Our mission is to ensure that all of our students secure the academic knowledge and skills to prepare them for the nation's finest high schools and colleges, and to instill in them the core values of caring, respect, responsibility and honesty.

We are currently undergoing significant growth and are adding many new members to our team for the 2010-2011 school year.
