Under NJ law, charter schools may not build facilities with public funds. To expand and improve our high school facilities, the Friends of Foundation Academies purchased the neighboring vacant Holy Cross rectory site and spent the better part of the 2018-19 school year constructing a new 10,217 square foot addition in the city's south ward. The existing school building received a complete HVAC, electrical, and interior upgrade. The Friends of FA proudly owns and maintains the high school campus and leases it back to the school.
