Start Your Own Charter School and Make History for Mississippi Students!

Are you an entrepreneurial educator, principal, or administrator who wants to take the next step in starting a new charter school? Starting a charter school is a big step, but with the right preparation, team, and dedication, it’s an exciting opportunity to make a lasting impact in your community. 

Currently, the Mississippi Charter School Authorizer Board (MCSAB) holds one application cycle per year. Interested parties must complete a letter of intent and be reviewed for eligibility. Once approved, they can then submit a full application. Although the law specifies the information that MCSAB must collect through the application, the MCSAB determines all application materials, the process and deadlines, and the selection criteria. Find out more on the latest deadlines for applications here.

We recommend you take five key steps towards opening your charter school.
