A Charter Education
Charter schools are public schools! They are designed as complements to traditional independent school districts. Charters exist to serve students that, for whatever reason, aren’t thriving in a one-size-fits-all traditional public school. Charters are free and open to all, offering every child an opportunity for a great education. To learn more about us and our charter school status, click here.
