We can help you design your charter school, interact with your charter authorizer and develop a first-rate charter school application.
- The Essential Charter School Services advisors have helped more than two dozen charter school development groups establish innovative charter schools. We are proud that the charter schools we helped to developed include a charter school exclusively serving children with autism or other severe developmental disabilities. This school has been so successful that it recently replicated to establish a second charter school.
