What are Charter Schools?
Charter schools are tuition-free public schools with
unparalleled innovation and flexibility. By forming a
strong partnership among parents, students and teachers,
charter schools are able to create an environment that’s
specially tailored for the students who go there. An environment
where:
Parents are encouraged to be involved
Teachers have the freedom to innovate
Students have the chance to learn
All three are held accountable for improving student achievement
Why Charter Schools?
What’s so great about charter schools? Quite a
lot. Here’s just a glimpse.

education
Teachers can try new ways to improve student achievement
