Charter Schools – America First Education Standards (AFES)

Empowering Charter Schools with True Educational Freedom

Charter schools were founded on the idea of innovation, parental choice, and local control. However, many have become targets of radical bureaucrats and activist-driven curriculum mandates. AFES provides an alternative accreditation pathway that ensures charter schools remain independent, academically rigorous, and aligned with traditional American values.

With AFES accreditation, charter schools can:

✅ Operate free from government overreach and progressive mandates.
✅ Focus on academic excellence and skill-based learning.
✅ Offer a curriculum rooted in real history, patriotism, and critical thinking.
✅ Strengthen parental confidence by upholding school choice and family values.

AFES ensures that charter schools remain true to their mission while standing against ideological interference.
