About Charter Schools

Charter schools are public schools of choice that have greater flexibility in implementing different teaching methods and philosophies. A charter school operates according to the terms of a charter, or contract, that has been approved by a local and state board of education.

Having exceeded its performance standards, Drew Charter School’s charter has been renewed through June 2015 by unanimous approval of both Atlanta Public Schools and the Georgia Department of Education. To download a copy of the Executive Summary of Drew’s charter, please click here.
