There are striking disparities in family wealth and income in New Jersey. Not surprising, there are also striking disparities in educational achievement. The Cresthaven community believes that all children – regardless of race or economic status – can succeed when given access to high-quality education. Together, Cresthaven Academy Foundation and Cresthaven Academy Charter School are building a movement that is changing the landscape of public education in Plainfield.
CRESTHAVEN ACADEMY FOUNDATION (CAF) is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization which exists to provide support and resources that inspire excellence in character, identity, and academics to the scholars and families of Cresthaven Academy Charter School. Sharing the belief that all children, regardless of race or economic status, can succeed when given equal access to high-quality education, Cresthaven Academy Foundation (CAF) aims to meet the needs outside the classroom, so that Cresthaven scholars may excel inside the classroom.
Our Impact
CRESTHAVEN ACADEMY FOUNDATION (CAF) was created to bridge the gap between current funding and actual needs of Cresthaven Academy Charter School, ensuring that students and families have the support and resources they need to excel. Cresthaven Academy receives only 74% of the per-pupil funding of traditional district schools. CAF helps set Cresthaven Academy apart from other area schools by meeting the needs of scholars and families outside the classroom so that Cresthaven scholars may excel inside the classroom.
