The International Academy of Trenton is a SABIS charter school in the city of Trenton, New Jersey. The current building on Perry Street was formerly the Trenton Times's headquarters.

The school relocated to an old high school on Chancery Lane near the New Jersey State House. The charter school serves students in both Ewing and Trenton, New Jersey. The school is to become a kindergarten through 12th grade school.

Perry Street Campus (2017-present)
The International Academy of Trenton Charter School's Perry Street Campus, formerly the Trenton Times headquarters, was finished in early 2017. All of the teachers and students moved from the Chancery Lane campus (grades 3-5) and from the Bellevue Ave campus (grades K-2) to the Perry Street campus on February 21st, 2017. The school opened its Perry Street doors to students on February 23rd, 2017. The building took almost 2 years to remodel. Walls and floors were tore down, graffiti was removed, and new staircases were added. The basement is home to the cafeteria and the gym. Another portion of the basement will be remodeled to home the high school. Portions might be added to the back of the building in case the basement does not have enough space for the high school. Students use interactive whiteboards in their classrooms. Classrooms have carpets, while other rooms (cafeteria, art room, etc.) have tiled flooring. One wall of each classroom is painted either orange, light green, or purple, while the other walls of the classrooms are painted white.
North Chancery Lane Campus (2015-2017)
International Academy of Trenton moved in to the former St. Mary's school in 2015. The school was an old high school, part of the St. Mary's Cathedral next door. The GPS always showed that the address of the school, 31 North Chancery Lane, was in another building nearby, due to a parking lot cutting off the street halfway. The building took some remodeling to be ready for the 2015-2016 school year. During that school year, the building was home to all of the grades at the time, K-4. It was used again during the 2016-2017 school year. In February 2017, students and teachers left the building for the brand new campus on Perry Street.
Bellevue Avenue Campus (2014-2015 and 2016-2017)
The school's Bellevue campus was home to the first year of the International Academy of Trenton. It was formerly a school abandoned for many years. It took a lot of repairs to get ready for the 2014-2015 school year. It was home to the whole school in 2014, grades K-3. The school was not used in the 2015-2016 school year, because the school was using the St. Mary's school on North Chancery Lane. In the 2016-2017 school year, the school used both the campus at Bellevue Ave and Chancery Lane. The Bellevue Ave campus housed grades K-2. All students and teachers left the building for the new Perry Street campus in February 2017.
