What is a public charter school?

Charter schools are a promising way to raise academic standards, empower educators, and actively involve parents and communities in progressive, public education. Charter schools are free public schools and receive their funding directly from the State of Nevada. A charter school is a public school that is exempt from many traditional rules and regulations. These exemptions allow charter schools great flexibility to try different instructional approaches. However, charter schools are still held accountable for the achievement of high academic standards.

Charter schools must comply with federal and state laws and regulations. Charter schools are freed from certain traditional regulations, but must follow federal regulations including civil rights, special education, IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Act), and others.

CCTA school’s goal is to meet the needs of individual students to be prepared for work and post-secondary education through advanced technical education curriculum that leads to self-sufficiency and personal fulfillment and instills the belief that throughout their lives students will use and apply what they learn.
