About
The Alliance
Supporting Excellence for All Florida's Students
The Florida Charter School Alliance is the only nonprofit, member-driven association that defends, promotes, supports, and collaborates with Florida public charter schools to influence legislative policy and environments to ensure our members have thefreedom to develop, maintain, and grow their high-quality public charter schools.
The Alliance has been a driving force behind major legislative victories that have advanced equity and opportunity for all public charter schools and the students they serve. Through relentless advocacy, we’ve secured shared access to tax dollars, fair and equitable student funding, and increased capital outlay support – all without compromising charter school autonomy or accountability.
Our Mission
To advance student achievement and expand access to high-quality education by advocating for, supporting, and protecting Florida’s public charter schools—empowering them to meet the growing demand for parental choice.
Our Vision
A Florida where every family has access to high-quality, innovative, and equitable educational options.
