What is a Public Charter School? Charter schools are public schools created and managed by members of the community, under a contract with the state. ECHS at Arvada operates under contract from the Colorado Charter School Institute. Charter schools are free public schools. There is no tuition charged. Enrollment is open to all students, subject to available spaces. As public schools, charter schools are also required to adhere to all public school laws, accountability measures, and the historic role public schools have played in promoting education in a democratic and pluralistic society. More information about Colorado charter schools can be found at the Colorado League of Charter Schools Website.
