Our Mission
The Charter High School for Law and Social Justice provides students with comprehensive high school education and lay academic and social groundwork for success in college and careers. Using a theme of law and social justice, the School engages, inspires, and empowers students, and equips them with the academic skills to earn a Regents diploma and gain admission to the college of their choice prepared for success. The School creates a pathway for its students to law school and careers as attorneys. The pathway includes mentoring opportunities with law students and attorneys and partnerships with institutions of higher learning. These institutions will offer college and law school experiences to our students and share with them the academic benchmarks and habits necessary to gain entrance to college and law school.
