Chesapeake Public Charter School

Someone from my church has their daughter enrolled there. They seem to really love the school.

There is no tuition to attend CPCS. Due to limited spaces the school has for students, this is the only reason for a "Lottery".

It took the people involved in getting the school over 5 years just to get the doors opened and overcome some very big hurdles. The school board was under the impression there was not enough people interested in sending their children to this type of school. However, after the school opened up last year and more families found out ANYONE could attend, the applications started to flood in.

Too bad it's not open for Calvert Co residents. I think that type of atmosphere is perfect for one if not both of my kids. Maybe one day they'll open it up to us or build one on our side of the bridge.
