Hollister has partnered with Family Life Academy Charter Schools and Highmark School Development to lead the design and construction of a new charter middle school located at 316 East 165th Street in the Bronx, NY.

Founded in 2000 by Reverend Raymond Rivera, FLACS opened its first school, FLACS 1 in 2001, and since has inaugurated FLACS 2 and FLACS 3. FLACS is a network of community grown charter schools dedicated to educating the whole child, affirming values, promoting academic excellence, and creating conditions for self-empowerment.

The new FLACS middle school campus will be a 4-story, 56,000 sq. ft. Charter School providing students with various amenities including a High School regulation gymnasium and cafeteria on the first floor and numerous classrooms and offices on the remaining floors. The school is slated for completion in time for the 2018 academic school year, accommodating approximately 650 students.
