Charter Schools: What Parents Should Know

A Free Option

Charter schools are tuition-free, open to the public, and responsive to students’ needs.

A Culture of Teamwork

California charter schools champion teamwork.  Parents are treated as partners in their child’s education and often work together with teachers to accelerate student progress.

Charter schools give teaching professionals freedom and flexibility to address individual student needs.

Parents praise charter schools:  a recent study found that the overwhelming majority of parents give their child’s charter school an “A”.1
