Atlantic Legal Foundation believes that all parents, no matter what their economic circumstances, should be able to avoid failing public schools where their children are not being educated.

Charter schools give parents this choice. Free from many of the stultifying regulations that govern traditional public schools, charter schools are at once more flexible than such schools and more accountable for student academic achievement. By cutting red tape and making performance a top priority, charter schools both increase educational opportunities for students and inspire the strong commitment of teachers, parents and citizens.

Atlantic Legal offers invaluable counsel and advice to advocates of school choice by providing documentation, strategies, compelling arguments and effective assistance to charter schools when they are attacked by teachers' unions and other opponents.

A core component of Atlantic Legal's School Choice program is the website DefendCharterSchools.org. Please visit for more information.
