The Florida Charter School Alliance (FCSA) advocates for, defends, and collaborates with public charter schools to influence legislative policy and environments. The voice of the charter school movement, FCSA is the only statewide non-profit, member-driven association representing charter schools throughout the state and the students they serve. FCSA member schools run the gamut of choice educati

Yet all our member schools have a common thread – a steadfast commitment to raising the bar on public education and providing a quality education option to the children and communities they serve.
