Elevating the Voices of Charter Families

There are more than 170,000 students and families across Pennsylvania who have chosen a public charter school.

Each family has a unique story and reason for that choice, but they stand united in their resolve to protect charter schools and choice in Pennsylvania.

Don’t Take Away Our Children’s Future

Families choose public charter schools for their children for many reasons. Some children were bullied. Some experienced anxiety. Some had physical limitations. Others were unmotivated by the one-size-fits-all education.

No matter the specific reason, however, we must continue to fight for the charter school option and the values these schools instill.
