The Elysian Charter School of Hoboken is one of New Jersey’s original 13 charter schools. Named for the Elysian Fields of Greek mythology, the school works closely with parents and students to emulate the utopian fields of Greek myth.
Opening in 1997, the school believes in not only a hands-on and child-centric model of learning but one that is academically rigorous and progressive. Their curriculum meets the New Jersey State Standards while remaining focused on each student, leading to curious and life-long learners.
Serving kindergarten through eighth grade, Elysian keeps class sizes small with only 16 students per class, for a total of 288 students. As a charter school, Elysian mainly serves students within Hoboken but will accept students from outside of the Hoboken school district.
Students can enjoy a variety of athletic programs at the school, such as the basketball, track and rugby teams. The school staff runs the early morning drop-off and aftercare programs. The school is located near Harborside Park, close to the Hudson River, making it a perfect spot for Elysian’s many hands-on field trips to historical and natural sites within Hoboken.

Elysian Charter School was a small school with very little programs. However, it did excel in making sure its students were creative when dealing with real-life issues and school assignments. Unfortunately, ECS did not take into consideration that it's students may not all learn the same way and did very little to help those who fell behind due to not being able to understand the provided material.

We love Elysian Charter School for the small class sizes, strong academics, universally fantastic teaching, and emphasis on kindness and community. The focus is on teaching each individual child, and my daughter has hugely benefitted by being part of this kind and loving community.
