Why Public Charter Schools?

Whether it’s a school focused on math and science, experiential learning, the arts, or a school with a longer school day, Maryland public charter schools can tailor their teaching to help kids who would otherwise fall through the gaps of a one-size-fits-all approach to public education.

About MAPCS

We Believe in Different

Maryland's diverse and innovative public charter schools shape dynamic and creative learning opportunities that meet the needs of every student, helping them realize their goals, passions, and highest potential, while also raising the bar for public education across the state.

Innovation

Innovation is at the heart of the charter school movement. Our schools provide space to rethink education and truly meet students and families where they are to take them where they want to be.

Community

Community is the foundation of every single one of our schools. We believe that meaningful partnerships and serving as a resource for the surrounding community in various capacities allow schools to be true reflections of the families they serve.
