What is a Charter School?
As publicly funded schools with enhanced flexibility, charter schools operate independently of traditional public schools. They are established via a charter that defines the school's mission, curriculum, objectives, and assessment methods. Designed to encourage innovation, they offer various educational options to fulfill the unique requirements of their communities.
