California's Charter Schools are innovative PUBLIC SCHOOLS created over 30 years ago by passionate educators, parents, and civic leaders committed to reimagining public education.
Charter schools are non-profit, tuition-free, public schools, open to all students regardless of zip code.
Charter public schools broaden the options families have in their children’s public education.
There are nearly 13-hundred charter public schools in California. They serve every student, every family, and every community with many students from Latino, Black, and low-income families.
Charter schools offer rigorous programs in college prep, science, the arts, language immersion, or AI for the jobs of tomorrow.
Others may be tailored for students who require additional support or a flexible schedule because not all students learn the same.
Charter schools are held accountable to high academic standards, and their performance and impact on students is reviewed on a regular basis.
Every child deserves access to an excellent public education, and California's charter public schools are continually evolving to offer students a high-quality education to help them succeed in college, career, and life.
It is why the majority of California parents now support charter public schools.
