Learn About Florida Charter Schools

Charter schools are non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations that have a contract or charter to provide the same educational services to students as district public schools. They are nonsectarian public schools that operate with freedom from many of the regulations that apply to traditional public schools.

About Us

The Florida Consortium of Public Charter Schools (FCPCS) is the state's primary membership association of public charter schools. Established in 1999 as a non-profit organization by a grassroots group of charter school operators, it provides advocacy, support, resources, and networking opportunities to new and existing charter schools, parents and students. FCPCS also promotes the establishment and operation of high quality public charter schools throughout the state.

Our mission is to provide a seamless system of support that promotes the establishment and operation of high quality Florida charter schools and supports the success of Florida's charter school movement at-large.

Our vision is to create a national model of high quality accredited charter schools that are student-centered and performance-driven.

What FCPCS does:

  • Supports the operation of high quality charter schools in Florida
  • Provides technical assistance to charter schools throughout the state
  • Supports charter schools pursuing accreditation
  • Supports improved charter school legislation
  • Represents Florida charter schools at the district, state and national level
