We provide an alternative school environment that prepares students of all grade levels for excellence. Our teachers and staff work closely with TK-12 students to instill strong values and develop the qualities that will prepare them for real-world success.

All students now receive a Chromebook and case to use for their coursework. For students that do not have access to internet at home, we can also offer internet hotspots in select circumstances.

What is a charter school?

Charter schools are publicly funded independent schools established by teachers, parents, or community groups under the terms of a charter with a local or national authority. This gives us the flexibility to create practices and curricula that truly meet each student’s need in a way that public schools can’t. We are proud to create an environment where students of all grade levels can excel.

For our high school students, individuals can elect to take classes that match their post-graduation ambitions, including college-prep and concurrent enrollment classes as well as a technical education pathway for those planning to enter the workforce after graduation.

Hear what one of our students had to say about our program after graduation:

“I want to give you the biggest thank you for all the help and support I got from you; for pushing me to do it and make it there! Thank you so much Dr.Esposito for everything and making this happen for me! I’m so thankful that there are people out there like you that are willing to make it happen for kids like me! I’m beyond thankful for everything, everyday when I wake up and I see my cap gown, class ring, and diploma up I get the biggest smile and say to myself that I did that not only by myself but with a lot of help from you! Thank you once again for everything!!!!!”
