Charter schools can divide opinion, and one can find both positive and negative arguments for them. For example, they can be characterised as an opportunity to create a more bespoke school experience or a step in the gradual degradation of public education. Charter schools challenge us to consider what type of schools we want. In the following chapter, I will explore the arguments for and against charter schools. The chapter also presents a case study of a charter school that the author was involved in establishing in the US. Can charter schools play an important role in reimagining the educational experience of children and teachers by providing a multicultural and multilingual teaching environment? The chapter provides reflections on the potential and limits of charter schools. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
