What Is a Charter School?

Independently operated and publicly funded, charter schools operate under a charter or contract with a local education agency and offer a variety in educational innovation, autonomy, and choice.

History

The Villages Charter School has a relatively short history, but since 1999 has been a leader in educating students.

Our Core Ideology

We are a school where a supportive community of students, parents and staff tailor the educational experience to meet individual needs, resulting in successful, well-rounded, responsible individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit.

We are dedicated to educating a community where all can be successful, discovering and realizing their dreams.

Hospitality

We create an atmosphere of support where people feel welcome, comfortable, and challenged to learn and grow.

Hard Work

We are committed to excellence in all we do. Our high expectations and data driven decisions are reflected in our work ethic, personal pride at school, and in our community. We strive to exceed everyone’s expectations with both effort and results.

Stewardship

We do what is in the best interest of the student, family, school, and community. We treat all resources as ours to nourish and protect.

Creativity

We encourage and embrace innovation, risk taking, and “out-of-the-box” thinking for the purpose of finding a better way.
