Dear AUL community,

This week, we are celebrating our Teachers. For the past eight months, they have worked tirelessly for the children that we serve, often coming in early, staying after school for individual tutoring, working through lunch setting up activities or grading papers, and all the while thinking of ways to ensure the students are ready to be successful in college or career when they leave us. Throughout the week, please take the time to thank every teacher at AUL.

What does “The Gold Tie” represent? In AUL, the Gold Tie represents pride, success and achievement. It is also a symbol of the hard work seniors have put in the last four years and it is an end of the high school journey, that begins with a new one. Our students here at AUL put in hard work in order to receive their ties. "We wear our tie to show what we have accomplished" says Student Government Council President, Maya Orsini "19. In order to acquire the tie, students must be accepted to a college or committed to a military branch.

The Brotherhood helps boys gain a deeper understanding of their self-awareness, creativity, character, honor, and their place in an ever-changing world. These young men are able to push themselves and explore who they are in a safe, learning community.

AUL Brotherhood Mission Statement

Our mission is to inspire young men to be the future leaders of tomorrow. To do this they are compelled to be respectful, courteous, understanding, honest, and most importantly dependable. Our goal is to push a high standard that is constantly being encouraged by our members, as well as holding each young man accountable for his actions.

Founded in 2010 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, the Academy for Urban Leadership Charter School is one of Middlesex County's comprehensive Public Charter Schools that serves students in seventh through twelfth grades. The school operates under the terms of a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education.

When the school first opened in 2010, it did not have the books, tables, or classrooms necessary for students to be in an adequate learning environment. Even the principal, at the time, had to serve as a lunch aide. Since then, AUL has developed to help students receive the education they deserve. AUL has expanded by opening two new campuses, expecting to provide the opportunity for students to continue to succeed, with graduation and college admission, as two of its goals.

AUL offers an advanced academic track and AP courses.

AUL Mission: To employ an educational design and experience that merges the highest standards of academic excellence while fostering convictions and commitment to social and economic justice.
