Writing a Charter School Application
We write high-quality charter school applications that get approved!
Our process is simple: You are the expert on your community and education plan, and we are the expert in ensuring your plan is communicated clearly to the authorizor.
As a former member of a state authorizing team, and co-author of over a dozen applications in three states, Katy Ridnouer has spent hundreds of hours coaching and teaching applicants, reading, evaluating and providing specific feedback on how to improve the overall application.
"FernLeaf, and Henderson County Families, are forever indebted to Leaders Building Leaders for its expertise and support. We truly believe that without your help and behind the scenes work that we would not have garnered approval from the State Board of Education to open in 2016. We look forward to bringing the families in our community another option for their children thanks to LBL’s expertise!"
