AUL Charter School Biology Class | Mr. Saad Syed

It is known that students learn best when they are given the freedom to make or create something that is hands-on, so students were given basic guidelines but they took the initiative to pick and create their own model using what they had at home. Students picked the cell, the cell cycle, and DNA and created unique 3d models, rubrics, and written assessments.

Ms. Bernadette Gioia | Honors World History Class

The world history classes studied the industrial revolution (1750 - 1850) and we looked at some of the work by Charles Dickens. I gave my students the first and last pages of "The Wreck of the Golden Mary." Their job was to fill in the middle of the story. They could either draw the story or write the story.

1-Wash hands frequently with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds


2-Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth; if you do, wash hands immediately afterward. Use hand sanitizer when soap/water is not available.


3-Avoid close contact with people who are sick


4-Stay home if you are sick


5-Cover your cough and sneeze into a tissue; then throw out and wash your hands.

About US

Founded in 2010 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, the Academy for Urban Leadership Charter School is one of Middlesex County's comprehensive Public Charter Schools that serves students in seventh through twelfth grades. The school operates under the terms of a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education.

When the school first opened in 2010, it did not have the books, tables, or classrooms necessary for students to be in an adequate learning environment. Even the principal, at the time, had to serve as a lunch aide. Since then, AUL has developed to help students receive the education they deserve. AUL has expanded by opening two new campuses, expecting to provide the opportunity for students to continue to succeed, with graduation and college admission, as two of its goals.



AUL offers an advanced academic track and AP courses.


AUL Mission: To employ an educational design and experience that merges the highest standards of academic excellence while fostering convictions and commitment to social and economic justice.
