ABOUT US 2.JPG

Cresthaven Academy Charter School is an independent public charter school in Plainfield, New Jersey with a big purpose. Founded in 2016 with the objective to address the inequalities in public school education in the greater Plainfield area, Cresthaven Academy achieves this through developing the "whole child" with a high-quality educational experience, family and community support, and health and wellness programming focused on achieving physical, social, and mental well-being.

CRESTHAVEN ACADEMY FOUNDATION (CAF) was created to bridge the gap between the decreased funding Cresthaven Academy receives as a charter school and the actual needs, ensuring that students and families have the support and resources they need to excel. 

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.
