Lone Sussex County Charter School Expands

Graduating Student, 123rf.com

The sole charter school in Sussex County is looking to expand.

The mandate of the 12 year old Sussex Academy of Arts and Sciences has been changed so they can add high school students to their middle school halls.

This will double the facility’s enrollment.

Next fall the school will add a 9th grade with another grade each year to complete the 12 year curriculum.

The school is now in the process of raising $10 million dollars to move forward with the expansion.
