The
Audubon Center has committed itself to authorizing charter schools that
have recognized the importance of experiential and environmental
education. In addition to providing oversight of the schools'
educational outcomes, finances, and operations, we also collaborate with
our schools by offering trainings and curriculum resources.
-
An annual retreat to connect to other schools that
have
similar goals,
-
Connections
to the state organizations that are committed to
charter
school success,
-
The
option of graduate training and residential
experiences
that are tied to the schools mission
-
A
group of experts who can help the schools overcome
obstacles
and develop projects that will be successful and
significant.

Request
for Proposals (RFP)
The
RFP is our design for a charter school that
would encompass
the best of an environmental education focused
charter
school. Those who are considering a charter
should look
at this RFP and decide if this is what they
would like.
If it is contact us for sponsorship and
guidance. We will
consider other charter school proposals, but
will give
priority to sponsoring schools that adopt this
model.
