Brief History Link Community School was founded in 1969 by the Sisters of St. Dominic of Caldwell, New Jersey, in response to the Newark riots and the resulting devastation of the Central Ward community. The non-denominational independent middle school was established to help rebuild the community by providing an exceptional educational opportunity for young people left in poverty. It was founded on the belief that small class settings combined with opportunities for creative expression would transform potential dropouts into community leaders. Critical to achieving that goal was providing each child the freedom to develop intellectually and emotionally in a safe, structured learning community. Based on these convictions, Link has grown into a thriving scholarship-based independent school serving up to 128 seventh- and eighth-grade students. |
