What is a Charter School?
A charter school is a public school that receives public funds under a written agreement – a charter – that outlines student performance goals and educational services the public charter school will provide. Charters are excluded from many statutes and rules guiding traditional public schools to allow the flexibility to be innovative.Why choose a Charter School?
A Charter School offers more individualized and self-paced learning. Classes are generally smaller. Students can learn at their own level and pace. We follow most of the Beaverton School district curriculum but our school features Spanish immersion, Singapore Math, and small class sizes. With a solid education, your child will be better prepared to compete in the global market place.
