As the United Voice of The Charter School Movement

We work with the media and public to disseminate accurate, timely information about public charter schools.  

  • Every day we post the top news stories covering charter schools and our movement. Read stories here, or sign-up to receive them in daily or weekly e-mails.
  • The It’s a Fact campaign was launched to raise awareness of charter schools and dispel common myths.  Its multi-media platform included a giant digital screen display viewed by six million viewers in New York City’s Times Square, transit and shopping-mall posters, and print ads in major national magazines.
  • Each year we release solid, evidence-based reports and white papers. For example: A Growing Movement: America’s Largest Charter School Communities, revealed that charter students account for 20 percent or more of public school enrollment in 16 major American cities;  Measuring Charter Performance documented research consensus that charters work for disadvantaged students, but cautioned about the dearth of high-quality charter studies.
  • NAPCS hosts the largest-ever National Charter Schools Conference to enriched knowledge-management capacity to capture new learning generated on-site.
