Charter schools are tuition-free, publicly funded schools. A charter school is an independently run public school that is granted greater flexibility in its operations than a traditional public school in exchange for greater accountability for performance. Charter schools operate under "charter", which is a contract between the school and its authorizing agency.

Charter schools provide a choice to parents and students who aren't satisfied with the educational opportunities of public schools but aren't interested in or can't afford to attend a private school. A charter school is free to attend and usually funded with state education money.
