FAQ

Are Charter Schools "Real" Schools?

Yes.  Charter schools are public schools just like any public school.  In 1992, Minnesota made history by being the first state to pass charter legislation.  Many other states soon followed but Minnesota's charter school laws are still among the strongest and most student-centered in the nation.  

Each charter school in Minnesota has an authorizer.  Our authorizer is the Osprey Wilds Charter School Division.  Authorizers are responsible for ensuring that their schools meet and comply with the same standards and regulations, dictated by the Minnesota Department of Education, that all public schools in the state need to.

So yes, charter schools are real schools.  Students get the same high quality education.  Graduates receive the same diploma recognized by the Minnesota Department of Education.  We just tend to think that our charter school is pretty awesome!
