Press Release

PERTH AMBOY – Beginning this September, the students of Academy for Urban Leadership Charter School will be participating in the Pathways to Leadership Program. Pathways is an innovative program founded by Dr. Mario C. Barbiere, Interim Superintendent of Schools for the district and will aim to provide opportunities for student leadership skills. Additionally, all students were tested to determine their learning style and multiple intelligence, as the Pathways Program has been established based on student intelligences.

Teachers and staff will engage the students in learning sessions called clusters, in grades 8-12.   The students will participate in STEAM based BRIDGE BUILDING, LEGO ENGINEERING, GROWTH MINDSET PRINCIPLES, 21st CENTURY SKILLS, AND VARIED AREAS OF TECHNOLOGY, as well as an ENTREPRENEURS SYMPOSIUM. 

Leadership, critical thinking, collaboration, problem solving, writing, research and language development are just a few of the skills the students will be applying in our clusters.

Become part of our positive school culture, by enrolling your children in our differentiated lessons, delivered by staff who will address your child’s learning style.
