Our Vision

MAPSA believes that every child in Michigan deserves a choice for a quality education. In the next five years, we will lead the effort to ensure access to quality education choices for all Michigan children by advocating for and supporting an environment that empowers creative thought, fosters innovation, and leads to the implementation of practices that deliver meaningful educational outcomes.  

We believe that charter schools provide the opportunity to change the trajectory of education in Michigan.  We see it as our vision to help that charter vision come to life.  It’s a vision that is half-lived now by the actions inside of each school.  We strive to see it all lived out in the next five years.
