About Us
What is a Charter School?
A charter school is a public school that is free of charge. It is funded by state and local tax dollars, but operated by a private non-profit organization and under a performance contract with the local school board. Charter schools are given more freedom compared to traditional public schools in return for a commitment to meet higher standards of accountability.
The Humanities and Fine Arts Charter School provides parents and students with a choice in selecting the type of instructional curriculum and learning environment best suited to meet their educational needs and preferences. The Charter School is founded on the guiding principle that EVERY student will learn. We believe that each student possesses a unique combination of gifts, talents and intelligences that when given expression, nurtured and valued in the instructional curriculum, MOTIVATES her/him to achieve in all areas of school life.
