About Our School

Abington Avenue School is a PK-8 public school with an emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM). As a STEAM school, our vision is to be the preeminent leader in STEM and Arts education by combining academic rigor with social responsibility and mastery of the process of scientific inquiry. We offer extra-curricular programs and club activities, in reading, writing, math, science, coding, drama, and the performing arts.

Unique Fact

We were awarded the Newark STEAM Coalition Grant for a second year in a row. We continue to work with Disney Junior musicals. We are proud to announce that we have added Arabic to our activity teacher line up this year.
