Academy for Urban Leadership Charter School is a five-year comprehensive public charter school that serves students in seventh through twelfth grades from Perth Amboy, in Middlesex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The school operates under the terms of a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education. After opening with 100 students in ninth grade in the 2010–11 school year, the school's plans were to add 100 students each year in ninth grade.

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 376 students and 26.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.5:1. There were 194 students (51.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 41 (10.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

AUL's first graduating class of 2014 had a graduating percentage of 95% and the second graduating class had a 100% graduation rate. The school started a sports program, with wrestling the only sport that had a varsity and a junior varsity team. The school also offers softball, baseball and basketball. For other sports that were not offered at the school, students could go participate and play for Perth Amboy High School's team.

The school started offering the SAT in its location. It is a college prep school that helps more students graduate and move on to college.
