Charter Schools are special public schools. All of them have one mission: to prepare your child for success in college. The schoolwork is challenging. The hours are longer than normal schools. The schools are small. The rules for kids are strict. The teachers are chosen because they're really good. Many of the schools have the highest test scores in Boston.
Every year, interested parents sign their children up for these schools. If you want your child to attend - again, these schools are free - you only need to sign up and hope your name is drawn. There are no interviews or other requirements. Every child has an equal chance at getting in.
There will be a Charter School Public Showcase held on Saturday, February 6th. Click here for more information.
