Charter School Resource Guide: For Schools
Charter Schools: A Labor of Love
If you are looking to open a new charter school or grow an existing one, The New Hampshire Charter School Foundation is here to help.
New Hampshire’s Department of Education has a goal of 20 new charter schools in the next five years to take advantage of the new $46,000,000 federal grant. This is an ambitious plan and a unique opportunity for charter schools, which requires all hands on deck. The New Hampshire Charter School Foundation has been formed to oversee this effort in coordination with other groups that also support charter schools in our
state.
We are a group of experienced charter school creators and want to use our hard-won knowledge to establish new schools by providing guidance in charter writing, start-up information, operational support and networking with the entire charter school system in the state. For us, this is a labor of love!
