The school operates under the terms of a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education.

Charter School was an Early College Preparatory School that utilizes research-based instructional practices to achieve student proficiency in mathematics, engineering, technology, and science.

Postsecondary success was promoted by prioritizing admission to a four-year college or university for each member of the graduating class.

Charter School Mustangs[3] competed independently of any league or conference for soccer, volleyball, and softball.

Both boys and girls' basketball teams are part of the N.J. Charter School Athletic League.
