What Are Charter Schools
Parent Choice
At the heart of the charter school movement is the principle of Parent Choice. Charter schools empower families to select a learning environment that best meets their child’s unique needs and aligns with their values. Parents choose an Imagine school because we provide the academic quality, character development, and nurturing environment they want for their children.
Public and Tuition-Free
Charter schools are part of the public education system, which means they are funded by taxpayer dollars and are accountable to state and federal education standards. Unlike private schools, charter schools do not charge tuition, making high-quality education accessible to all families, regardless of income. Every Imagine School is tuition-free and open to all local students. We operate our schools with integrity, accountability, and a passion for academic excellence.
Why Choose Imagine Schools?
Imagine Schools is driven by the belief that every child is unique and deserves an education that caters to their individual strengths and needs. By choosing to enroll their child in an Imagine School, parents are taking an active role in their child’s education and future success. In our schools, success means Developing Character and Enriching Minds as we graduate students well prepared for college, career, and life.
