Launch your Charter School with an Experienced Guide

Charter Schools show a lot of promise for the future of education. And if starting your own charter school in Rhode Island is your dream, you've come to the right place.

But, how do you start a Charter School? What is the Rhode Island Charter School law? How is it advantageous to you and your school? How does a school obtain a charter? Why do the rules seem to keep changing?

It's a long road and questions seem to overwhelm from the very start. For an undertaking of this magnitude, doesn't it make sense to have an experienced guide? That's where The Chartered Course can help. The Chartered Course will serve as your technical advisor as you go through the process; free of charge. Our mission is to keep the public flow of Charter School information moving and to help others launch new Charter Schools.

The Chartered Course was created by the Operations Office of the first Charter School in Rhode Island: The Textron/Chamber of Commerce Providence Public Charter School. Our success shows in the hopes, dreams and stories of our graduates.

If you are interested in opening a Charter School and possess the needed curiosity and passion, call us at 456-1738 or send us an email to set up an appointment to begin work on your charter school application. We are happy to share our experience with you.

A newsletter just for you

The Chartered Course publishes a newsletter to keep interested parties up-to-date on breaking legislative news, updates on this year's charter applicants and upcoming events.
