Help Our Students Reach Their Potential

Spectrum Charter School is the first autism-specific charter school in the United States. Since 2000, we have served students ages 13 to 21 who learn best outside a traditional classroom, with one special education teacher and one para-educator for every eight students.

As a tuition-free public school, our funding covers the basics. It does not cover everything our students need. Your gift helps pay for student laptops, assistive technology, classroom and curriculum supplies, library books, and the van trips that take students into the community to learn, work, and volunteer.
