At the Septima Clark Public Charter School, preschool to eighth grade boys master advanced academic skills and knowledge to compete, achieve, and contribute in academic institutions of distinction.

About

At the Septima Clark Public Charter School, we believe that education is freedom. Our mission is to prepare every young boy—preschool to eighth grade—with an exceptional education that assures him academic mastery and achievement. We will provide a public education where discipline is consistent and fair, expectations for exceptional achievement and conduct are the norm, and preparation for students’ life success is the driving force behind every faculty and staff member’s work. Our highly structured educational program builds learners with fundamental skill mastery in the early grades and develops critical thinkers with advanced skills in the upper grades.
