Mission

All students should be given the opportunity to be problem solvers and lifelong learners. In keeping with this vision, proficiency across the curriculum is essential. To insure that all students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary, the Kearny staff provides individual attention and differentiated instruction as needed. Our small class size and stable faculty insures that the Kearny teachers are well acquainted with all students—their strengths and weaknesses, their backgrounds, their individual learning styles and their personalities. This enables the faculty to focus on each and every student, constantly monitor progress, and insure that all needs are met. The faculty continually analyzes performance, assessments and test results to determine effectiveness so they can truly offer the best to each child.

Campus Features

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.
