The great diversity of charter schools
I’ve just been looking at the 19 charter schools approved to date, and am impressed with how well they cater for all types of kids, They are not about replicating state schools, but providing alternatives for those who need or desire them. The focus of the schools are:
- Autistic/Neurodiverse
- Cambridge
- Classical academic
- Creative and visual arts
- Distance learning
- Employment focused
- Fresh start
- French
- Learning needs
- Maori – 7
- Outdoor immersion
- Pacifica girls
- Sport focused learning
- US curriculum
And not a single student at these schools will be there because they are forced to by a zone. Every single one will have chosen to be there.
