Public Charter Schools

These schools are publicly funded, free to attend and run by independent contracts, which means they are different from the private schools in terms of funding, accessibility and structure. One of the benefits of a charter school is that it is not tied to a school district, which means they have more room for flexibility in their education and are open to all students regardless of where they live. Public charter schools are also able to offer smaller class sizes for their students than some of the traditional public schools, and online schooling for students who thrive in the online, self-paced environment. The charter school model often creates a sense of community between teachers, parents and students. Teachers have the ability to create a classroom that fits the needs of their students and the school is held accountable to the standards the charter and their communities agree to.

With so many incredible opportunities to choose from, it can be hard to know what is best for your child. Know that each child is unique and what works best for one, might not always work for another. If you are interested in learning more about any of these unique styles of education, contact a local school for tours and more information — and be sure to reach out to other parents who have experience. They always have a wealth of information to provide!
