Our tuition-free public charter schools serve over 21,000 students across 44 campuses statewide. School models include STEAM, dual-credit, inquiry-based, dyslexia-focused, renewable energy, performing arts, Montessori, dual-language, and more.

Our schools directly receive 98% of all funds procured, with the District retaining only 2% to cover administrative and operational support services.

Our District promotes school autonomy in key areas, including finance, leadership and personnel, scheduling, and curriculum and instruction.

Sustained support from District staff begins at the initial expression of interest and continues through school launch and throughout the life of the charter. Our dedicated team provides ongoing guidance and delivers numerous training opportunities for both new and existing schools year-round.

The South Carolina Public Charter School District is committed to authorizing high-quality public schools where ALL students are empowered to reach their highest academic potential. As a statewide system of public schools, we offer equal access and opportunity to every student—and we always put Kids First!
