What is a Charter School?

A charter school is a tuition-free public school that operates independently from traditional school districts. It’s open to all students, offering families a choice in their child’s education.

Charter schools like MITCH have the flexibility to use innovative teaching methods and specialized programs, while still being held accountable for academic results and state standards. This allows us to focus on personalized learning, smaller class sizes, and unique programs that meet the needs of our students and community.
​
Charter schools combine the best of public education with the freedom to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment.
Charter Schools are public schools that offer parents the opportunity to choose a school that best fits the needs of their child. -- #schoolchoiceweek
