Given the freedom to be innovative while still being accountable for improving student academic achievement, charter schools have improved the public education landscape in Florida, have empowered parents to be true partners in a child’s education, and have raised the bar for what is possible in public education. Created three decades ago in an effort to improve our nation’s public school system and close the achievement gap, charter schools have done that and more.
If you have an idea for a great charter school…one that breaks with tradition, thinks outside the box or aims to serve a historically under-served community, you’ve come to the right place. The links below will provide you with some information to get your application process started. We also encourage you to visit the charter school page of the district you plan to apply to. If you need a consultant to help you and your founding board through this process, contact Lynn@flcharteralliance.org
