Our Story
The Ethical Community Charter School opened its doors in September 2009, starting with just 120 kindergartners and first graders. Today, TECCS has grown to a vibrant K-8 school, educating nearly 400 children. Founded by dedicated Jersey City families and a team from New York, TECCS is inspired by the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, emphasizing ethics, service, and social justice. The school has forged strong community ties and collaborations, becoming a proud member of the UNESCO Associated Schools Project and the Ashoka Changemaker Schools network.
