Brief History
Mastery Schools of Camden – North Camden Elementary is a renaissance school based on the model developed by Mastery Charter High School – Lenfest Campus (founded in 2001). Mastery’s mission is to prepare urban youth for success in higher education and the global economy. Mastery Schools of Camden was selected by the Camden City School District as one of the first renaissance providers to open schools in Camden, and founded North Camden in 2014. North Camden currently serves 385 students in Kindergarten through 7th grades, with services for special education and bilingual students.
North Camden’s doors opened in August of 2014 and already we are seeing growth in our students and the development of a strong Mastery community. Our belief in every child’s potential, coupled with our dedication to building a rigorous and enriching community for our children and families, makes North Camden shine as a school designed to serve the entire community. Our community is guided by Mastery’s core values of Respect, Responsibility, Hard Work, Teamwork, and Kindness, with the pursuit of student achievement at the core of our mission.
We welcome you to visit us at our home at the Pyne Poynt Middle School campus and see what we are all about.
