Charter schools in Miami-Dade and Osceola: what parents should know
Choosing a school is a big decision. Here are the basics of how charter schools work in Florida, and where each Lincoln-Marti campus is.
What is a charter school?
A charter school is a public school that operates under its own charter, an agreement with the local school district. Florida law is direct about it: all charter schools in Florida are public schools and part of the state's public education program.
Do charter schools charge tuition?
No. Florida charter schools may not charge tuition or registration fees beyond the fees other public schools normally charge. Every Lincoln-Marti campus is tuition-free.
Who can apply?
Charter schools are open to students who live in the school district they serve. When a school receives more applications than it has seats, Florida law requires a random selection process so every applicant has an equal chance.
