What is a Charter School?
Charter schools are publicly funded educational entities that enjoy more flexibility and autonomy than traditional public schools. Founded through a charter—a performance agreement specifying the school's mission, programs, goals, and assessment strategies—they aim to foster innovation and provide diverse educational opportunities suited to their communities' specific needs.
