Charter a School in St. Louis
information on how to charter a school in St. Louis and about what sorts of schools St. Louis needs
State law requires a sponsor-approved application, authorized by the State Board of Education, in order to establish a charter school in Missouri. While I cannot sponsor charter schools, many potential charter school sponsors value my opinion. After successfully completing this vigorous application process, my office will help aspiring schools identify potential sponsors, assist with technical issues, help secure a sponsor and gain authorization from the Missouri Board of Education
Are you part of a successful school that can be replicated in St. Louis? Do you have an exciting, innovative idea for a new school? St. Louis is seeking applications with an exciting vision, unique services and compelling plans that will address the need for high quality public educational services throughout the City of St. Louis. I am particularly interested in schools that serve at-risk children, attract and retain families in the City, and those that provide students with career and workforce options. I invite you to review the application and apply to create a charter school in St. Louis. To learn more about charter schools, please review this document, which is filled with informational resources about charter schools. My team has also come up with a few ideas of charter schools that are needed in our community.
