A Tuition Free Public Charter School

Our Charter

A charter school is a tuition-free, semi-autonomous public school of choice. Charter schools typically have more flexibility than traditional public schools in areas such as curriculum, fiscal management, and overall school operations. They may offer an education program that is more innovative than traditional public schools.

Charter schools operate under a charter (or contract) between the charter school and its authorizer and are considered a separate school district. In Idaho, charter schools are authorized either by the local school district or the Idaho Public Charter School Commission.

Charter schools receive state funds, but do not receive additional funds from public levies or bonds. As such, charter schools must rely on private donations and fundraising in order to build and sustain the school.
