Orlando Science Charter School East Campus - What is a Charter School and Why Does it Matter?

 


Orlando Science Charter School K-8 (OSEC) breaks the mold. We are a public charter school, designed to offer the best of both worlds: the accessibility of public education coupled with the freedom to innovate in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) learning.

This unique approach empowers us to create a dynamic learning environment unlike any other. Here's what sets us apart:

Unleashing the Power of STEM: Our curriculum isn't just STEM-focused, it's STEM-infused. We integrate these vital fields across K-8 all disciplines, giving students a deeper understanding and the ability to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Personalized Learning, Amplified: Smaller class sizes are a hallmark of OSEC. This allows our dedicated teachers to provide the individualized support each student needs to flourish and reach their full potential.

Accountability with a Purpose: We're not afraid of high standards. OSEC holds itself to the strictest academic benchmarks, and our success is measured by the achievements of our students.



  • CHARTER SCHOOLS: A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

    Charter schools, like OSEC, are non-profit organizations contracted to deliver educational services comparable to those offered by public schools. These agreements, called charters, outline the school's mission, programs, goals, and the metrics used to evaluate success. Operating within this framework, charter schools are held accountable to the school district and their stakeholders for academic achievement and fiscal responsibility.

    Choosing a charter school can be an empowering decision. It allows you to actively participate in shaping your child's educational journey and find a school environment that fosters their unique potential. Explore the possibilities at OSEC and discover how a public education can be truly transformative.
