LEAP Academy University Charter School is operated and paid for by public and federal funds and serves the citizens of Camden. The charter school is under the direction of our Board of Trustees in order to provide a high quality college preparation education for all of our students. It is our purpose to provide a meaningful college and career preparation and educational program for every student at LEAP Academy University Charter School.

Providing such a high quality educational program for every student implies a mutual responsibility. The charter high school provides the programs and facilities; the student and parent must assume responsibility for participation in the educational program through reasonable conformity with acceptable standards of behavior
