  • 2020 Independent Charter School Virtual Conference

    • Keynote: tbd
    • Date: November 16-20, 2020
    • During the recent pandemic, we’ve witnessed our member schools take on new and innovative roles. From implementing mission-driven distance learning to helping our families with basic necessities, we know that independent charter schools are showing up for their communities with compassion. Our organization has covered the resilience and dedication found in our school leaders, teachers, staff, students and families through our national virtual meetings. Now, more than ever, we need our independent charter school community – we need each other! We are redirecting and reimagining our in-person 2020 Independent Charter School Symposium and bringing you an exciting one-of-a-kind virtual event. Join us as we celebrate independent charter schools and explore the future of public education.
