Our Home
Our founders were able to acquire the site of the former Schomberg Charter School at 508 Grand Street located a quarter mile west of the Jersey City Medical Center.
BelovED kicked-off by offering grades K-2 in September 2012, with 120 children in each grade level. Its founders envisioned adding one grade level per year until the school became a K-12 school. Currently BelovED has students through the 10th grade.
BelovED soon outgrew its initial space and began adding buildings.
In 2014 a 25,000 SF annex was added.
In 2018 a 16,296 SF classroom building was added.
In 2019 a 53,564 SF high school building was added.
