Our Mission

The Lady Liberty Academy faculty is dedicated to a mission that calls on teachers to grow and empower students to create and fulfill their dreams:

"To have all children be active learners who participate in constructing knowledge and understanding; and provide them with the necessary resources and learning opportunities so they can transform their thoughts into concrete tools that can be used to shape and control their environment."

Our school mission enables both staff members and students alike to work towards their full potential each day. Students strive for excellence, grow and develop in a positive, supportive, and collaborative atmosphere. In this way, everyone experiences success as well as develop an intrinsic love for life-long learning. LLACS seeks to provide a high performing Science, Math and Technology school for its students.

At Lady Liberty Academy we strive to eliminate bullying from our school culture. Our students, staff and parent population have been trained in bullying prevention. We have adopted the OLWEUS approach to anti-bullying, which is a multi-tiered method to decrease incidents of bullying in school.

We have an in school anti-bullying task force that includes administration, teachers and parents. Our anti-bullying coordinator is Mr. Peterson, our Dean of Students and he can be reached at: 973.623.9005. You can also e-mail all bullying concerns to him at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
