What is a Charter School?

Charter schools are tuition-free public schools independent from the local district public schools. Like district public schools, charter schools are required to adhere to all federal, state, and local education, health, and safety rules and regulations. If you’re seeking the quality of a private school education without the cost, you’re in the right place.
