What is a Charter School?
Did you know that Aristoi Classical Academy is a public charter school? Do you know what being a public charter school means? Click on this link to discover more.

In an effort to increase awareness about charter schools and the significant role they play in your students' education, Aristoi is including information, reports, and documents to keep you in the know.

In order to continue to do what we do, we all need to support charter schools and their students -- OUR students!

The best source of information is the Texas Public Charter School Association, an association in which Aristoi is a part.
