SDP School Profile

Kearny is slated for a significant expansion over the next two years. Formerly a K-6 school, Kearny recently converted to K-8 and will construct a new wing to house the upper school. Recent additions to the school include a state of the art cybrary, a new science laboratory and outdoor basketball courts. In addition, Kearny has been selected to receive a campus park upgrade, which will include a grass play area, tables and benches, a playstructure, and trees. The campus park will greatly enhance the schoolyard setting. It will also become a neighborhood destination, welcoming families from the Northern Liberties community after school and on weekends.
