What is a charter school?
There are more than 30 charter schools within the Concept Schools network. Each focuses on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and College-Preparation. Schools are located in historically underserved communities and enroll students ranging in age from early childhood through 12th-grade.
The reasons that parents choose charter schools for their children are just as unique as the students themselves. They choose charter schools because of the strong, dedicated teachers, because the school's focus matches their child’s needs, or simply because their child was struggling in their assigned public school and needed to try something new. Charter schools provide families with options in public education, allowing parents to take a more active role in their child’s education.
One of several types of school choice, charter schools are public schools that do not select students and do not charge any tuition. They are truly schools of choice, and the families that choose to enroll their students in a Concept School have Chosen Wisely.
