About Maureen Joy
Maureen Joy Charter School is a K-8 public charter school located in Old East Durham, North Carolina. It was founded in 1997 by a group of dedicated community members who wanted to create a new vision for public schools in Durham. Our school is tuition-free and open to the public, with admission determined by a random lottery. We believe all children can succeed regardless of race, neighborhood, or the income of their families and the children at our school have demonstrated this time and again.
