Free. Public. Open to all.

Education Is Not One Size Fits All
Kids aren’t all the same, schools shouldn’t be either.
Accountability
Charter schools are subject to the same standards and assessments as all public-schools in the state and are held to a higher level of accountability through their approved charter. They must follow most state laws and regulations, including those pertaining to special education.watermark
Flexibility
Charter schools use their flexibility to find unique solutions and approaches to curriculum, teaching methods, governance, leadership and operations. In exchange for their flexibility, charter schools are held accountable to high financial, academic and managerial standards outlined in the charter.
Licensed Teachers
Charter schools give teachers flexibility to teach creatively and provide personalized attention to meet the individual needs of every student, giving students from all backgrounds the opportunity to go to a school that works for them.
Parent Choice and Involvement
By listening to parents and staying responsive to their communities, public charter schools are creating meaningful ways for parents to be engaged in their child’s education. Parents want and deserve to be able to choose the school that best meets the needs of their children, and charters give families that opportunity. Public charter schools are helping parents, teachers and students work together towards success.
