Philip S Academy Charter School Careers in Newark, NJ

In the early 1980’s, a philanthropist offered to provide full scholarships to St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire for two Newark students. Sadly, none could be found to meet the school’s rigorous standards. Determined not to let such an educational opportunity pass Newark children again, Dean Dillard Robinson and members of his congregation at Trinity & St. Philip’s Episcopal Cathedral founded St. Philip’s Academy in 1988. They sought to establish a singular institution that would provide students with the academic skills necessary to thrive at independent secondary schools across the nation, thereby preparing them for a lifetime of personal achievement.
