Robert Treat Academy Graduating Class Receives Record $6M in Scholarship Offers

Robert Treat Academy Graduating Class Receives Record $6M in Scholarship Offers

Read this article as it originally appeared in Newark Patch | Local Talk News

Graduating eighth graders at Robert Treat Academy Charter School in Newark received a record $6 million in scholarship offers to attend private boarding and day schools in the fall.

The scholarship offers this year exceeded the average $4 million a year that previous classes have received since the first class graduated in 2005, said Theresa Adubato, the principal of Robert Treat.

"We are extremely proud of our students," Adubato said. "The scholarship offers that this class received are a reflection of all the hard work they have put into their academics during their elementary school years."

Robert Treat, which was established in 1997 by North Ward Center founder Stephen Adubato, enrolls 450 students at its North Ward campus. The second campus in the Central Ward, which opened in 2009, currently enrolls 100 children in grades K-3 and will eventually have 225 students in grades K-8 as it adds a grade every year. Robert Treat was nationally recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon school of excellence.

"The fact that these children are getting into the greatest high schools in America and on full scholarship shows that children in Newark can excel," Stephen N. Adubato said.

Students at the school have been accepted to some of America's most elite boarding schools including Cheshire, Choate Rosemary Hall, The School at Church Farm, Deerfield, Groton School, St. Paul's, Phillips Exeter, Phillips Academy Andover, the Peddie School and Lawrenceville. The boarding schools have offered students more than $4.6 million in scholarships.
