Middle School Information Session in Jersey City
As Jersey City grows and families decide to stay in the area as their children get older, parents have requested more information about the Middle School options in Jersey City and Hoboken.

JCFamilies are organizing a Middle School Information Session on December 10th from 5:30 pm-7:30 pm. The idea for this event is to provide options for parents and give them information about the local middle schools in the area. Do you want to know the process of applying for Middle Schools like Academy 1, MS 4, Explore Middle School, or Infinity Institute? Then this session will be perfect for you!

Common Questions Answered:

1. The school does not provide bussing. The school district provides bus ticket applications to all students to determine if they qualify for public bus tickets. Middle school students must live at least 2.0 miles from the school.
2. Information about the process will be posted on the district website (www.jcboe.org). At this time, the district has not finalized the admissions process for the 2022-2023 school year. Once it has been finalized, the district will be sharing with both public and non-public school counselors and administrators. Last year, the application process was online. At this time, I do not know if it will be online or paper-based. We based the number admitted on the number of available open seats for the year. For next year’s 6th grade class, we look to admit 40- 50 students.
3. Our school’s curriculum is a blended curriculum of Cambridge University and the district’s approved ELA, Math, and Science curricula). Our 6th-grade students follow a 6th grade blended curriculum. They do not follow a 7th-grade curriculum as in AEP.
