 Because we believe that an excellent educational opportunity should be guaranteed to all children regardless of their economic condition, we provide Link students the very best middle school education. Such a commitment to excellence and to our mission to serve students from economically disadvantaged families who have limited academic opportunities demands increasing resources.
Parents make a personal commitment and investment in their children's education, but due to their socio-economic conditions, tuition (between $1,100 and $4,000 per child assessed on a sliding scale based on family income) provides only 15% of the necessary funds. Each year, Link must find the means to support its Academic Program and relies on the generous support of our partners -- foundations, corporations, churches, civic organizations, and individuals who share our mission -- to provide the additional resources needed to serve our students.
At a time when donors are demanding excellent results and accountability, Link is proud to demand the same of itself. We are pleased that the Middle States Association Commission on Secondary Schools has validated our program. In the conclusion of its report for validation, the Visiting Team members stated that it "felt the heart of Link Community School from the first moment the Team entered the building…The school demonstrated a commitment to taking a good hard look at itself, and how it is always striving to grow in order to provide the best middle school education possible is clear and at times, astounding."
Our students have tremendous success in large part because of Link's committed partners. An investment in our school will surely yield excellent results as seen in the success of our students and alumni.
We welcome visits from our current and in many cases long-term partners, as well as those interested in learning more about Link Community School. To schedule a visit, learn about ways to get involved or support Link, or to receive additional information about our school, please contact Marnie G. McKoy, Principal, or Maria Pilar Paradiso, Vice Principal, Director of Institutional Advancement, at 973-642-5343.
