What is a Charter School?
Charter schools are tuition-free public schools of choice, but each charter school is governed independently. Unlike traditional public schools, every charter school must demonstrate success, or it will lose its charter.
The Lake Charles Charter Academy will be a member of the Charter Schools USA family of schools. CSUSA is one of the largest providers of education management services in the nation. CSUSA manages private and municipal charters for grades Pre-K through 12.
