A world-class, science-focused public high school known as Liberty Science Center High School will soon begin construction within SciTech Scity in Jersey City.

“Partnering with the county, we’re creating an unparalleled opportunity for hundreds of students each year by disrupting the status quo and acting as a catalyst to promote future scientists, inventors, and entrepreneurs in a one-of-a-kind setting that will become a sought-after destination for inspiration and innovation,” said Mayor Fulop. “Liberty Science Center High School will be a key asset interwoven into all SciTech Scity and will offer with internships, innovators, entrepreneurs, and scientists coming together to create a hub for learning and creation.”
