Applications

This page provides information on requirements to submit a public charter school proposal to the NC Charter Schools Review Board.

Note: This application is not to enroll your child into an individual charter school. If you are seeking enrollment at a charter school, please refer to the school's website. Each charter school has its own admissions and enrollment process that must be followed.
