Charter Launch

Starting a charter school is quite an undertaking. Which is precisely why the Association created Charter Launch. A comprehensive program to help lead you through the entire process, from building a team to opening your doors on the first day.

With Charter Launch you get:

More than 70 hours of direct support for school developer groups
A combination of one-on-one sessions with a charter facilitator, workshops, presentations by experts and site visits

As a developer groups you receive:

Access to successful charter petitions
Model school policies
A thorough petition review
Mock authorizer presentation practice

Once your charter is approved you’ll receive:

Individualized support in the initial stages of plan implementation

At this point, you can transition to the second step, a leadership and support program called California Charter Quality Institute.
