What We Stand For

lead image

The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools (National Alliance) is the leading national nonprofit organization committed to advancing the public charter school movement. The National Alliance occupies a critical role in the charter school movement as a leader in federal education policy and as a prominent voice, determined to improve state charter policy and advocacy.

Our mission is to lead public education to unprecedented levels of academic achievement by fostering a strong charter movement.

We stand for public school options that:

  • Put families in charge of choosing their child’s education, principals in charge of running their schools, and teachers in charge of leading their classrooms, and
  • Have high standards for every student and give every student the support they need to meet those standards.
