The Classical Academy Charter School Of Clifton Inc.

The Classical Academy Charter School Of Clifton Inc., doing business as Classical Academy Charter School, is a New Jersey-based nonprofit charter school that receives federal education funding as a sub-recipient under federal grants managed by the New Jersey Department of Education and the New Jersey Public Charter Schools Association, with no direct federal contract or prime grant awards in its footprint.

Classical Academy Charter School operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on three federal education grants totaling $1.1 million obligated across a two-year period. The school receives Title I funding (fiscal year 2025) distributed through the New Jersey Department of Education, which allocates federal resources to ensure high-quality K–12 education and proficiency on state academic achievement standards. It also holds a sub-award from the New Jersey Department of Education under the American Rescue Plan Mental Health program, aimed at strengthening post-secondary career and technical education in two- and four-year colleges and universities. Most recently, in November 2024, Classical Academy Charter School received a Charter Schools Program (CSP) award for charter growth through the New Jersey Public Charter Schools Association, which acts as the pass-through grantee. All three awards flow through New Jersey state-level or nonprofit intermediaries rather than directly from the U.S. Department of Education, placing the school in a grant sub-recipient posture with a single customer agency — the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education — across its entire federal footprint. The school has no federal contract experience, no seats on government-wide vehicles or IDIQs, and does not pursue federal procurements. Its federal funding relationship is limited to K–12 education support and workforce-development sub-grants managed at the state level.
