HENRY JOHNSON CHARTER SCHOOL
We Believe Scholars Can Achieve Academic Excellence While Developing Exceptional Character.
We embrace an educational philosophy of love and hard work coupled with a rigorous curriculum grounded in basic skills, outstanding literature, and moral virtues. HJCS provides a nurturing environment of high expectations and accountability that equips all scholars with the choice to determine their success in life.
Our Mission
The Mission of Henry Johnson Charter School is to ensure that all scholars reach the highest levels of scholastic achievement in an environment that instills character, virtue, and “habits of mind” that ensure success both within and outside the classroom: diligence, courage, respect, self-reliance, duty, and responsibility.

During today's monthly Proactivity assembly, the Free Food Fridge of the Capital Region, along with the Honest Weight Food Co-Op, recognized three of our Henry Johnson Charter School scholar-artists. The three 3rd graders, Mofeoluwa Atoyebi, Aunri Douglas, and Mila Williams created artwork that was chosen to decorate one of our local Free Food Fridges, as well as the shelter that keeps the fridge safe from the elements. Free Food Fridge founder, Jamella Anderson was in attendance to present the awards.
Their designs were painted on the Free Food Fridge by professional muralist Cara. M. Hanley this week and will be on display at the Honest Weight Food Co-Op on Watervliet Ave. Amy Ellis from the Honest Weight Food Co-Op will be holding a celebratory event to recognize ALL third grade scholars who participated in mid-December (keep your eyes peeled for details!)
