Should I send my child to private, public, or charter school? The key to answering this question is to thoroughly research your options, invest in your child’s education, and choose what you believe is best for him or her. 

Well-rounded education is the goal of most schools, and each system has its own set of successes and challenges. We have developed a short e-book, to help parents dtermine what system is best for their children. 

What are the Key Differences Between Public, Private, and Charter Schools?

Publicly funded traditional and charter schools are resourced by state and federal governments, while private schools raise funds through tuition, donors, and other private sources. Privately funded do not have the same level of government interference as public schools, but may not have access to the same wealth of extra-curricular activities.
