Chelsea Heights School
Chelsea Heights School in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is a Kindergarten through 8th-grade community school with a long history of serving the families of the Chelsea Heights neighborhood. With small class sizes and strong community involvement, the school provides a supportive learning environment for students before they transition to Atlantic City High School. Recently, Chelsea Heights became part of the district’s groundbreaking, state-of-the-art esports initiative — the first district-wide program of its kind in the nation — giving students access to modern technology, STEM learning, and career-connected opportunities. The school also partners closely with Atlantic City Recreation, serving as a hub for youth programs, sports, and community activities that further strengthen its role as a vital resource for children and families in the area.
