What exactly is a charter school?

sweet i did not know about charter schools.

im going show my friends this

Looks like a wonderful place to get a crucial part of your education. Cute kid too. :o) Good Luck moving this forward.

Great job on this video! I liked seeing the development of the school from just an idea to becoming an actual school.

This is a school like no other! The teachers have taught so far beyond book smarts....the children have learned communication skills, leadership, responsibility, planning and organizational skills and most importantly...life lessons! The school motto is: "Your life is what you make it!" That says it all. Thanks to all the teachers at TRCS for making this school so amazing!

My two grandchildren attend this school so this gave me the opportunity to learn more about a charter school, The work I have seen that they have done has impressed me, keep up the great work.

The presenter does a great job. Very well produced as well.
Also, the info. is very useful and makes me wanna go back to school ;)
Keep up the good work!

As grandparents and having sent our own children through public school, we have been blown away by the education our grandchild is receiving at TRCS and couldn't be more excited for her future. This is only her first year! We have been and continue to be so impressed. So hats off to Three Rivers Charter School! Thank you!

As an English teacher, I have to say I was very impressed by your presentation of a Charter School. I think many students can benefit from the style of teaching promoted in this type of school, both academically and socially. In the standard school, unfortunately, there are students who do not find their place and slip through the cracks. It seems to me that in a Charter School, there is more leeway for students to be themselves, in an atmosphere that encourages creativity and self-expression.

Nice job. We need to see more of this in our country. Success stories of how the school system could be. It's absolutely possible!

Good stuff. I didn't know anything about charter schools before looking at this.

This Charter school builds confidence and good citizens in addition to excellent academic opportunities. We are lucky to be part of this wonderful community.

What a fabulous video. This will be so helpful for students and their parents who are considering charter schools but are not quite sure how how they work. Three River Charter School is amazing and hopefully similar schools will follow their lead throughout the country.

I think its awesome, would love to send my kids to a school like this

It's truly pleasing to see a young child so interested in his education and sharing his experience with others. This video is an excellent display of a young persons creativity and talent.

Congrats for the video! I hope all students could have the same opportunity to attend such Charter School!

Josh, this is a fantastic piece. I have spread the word of this to many who agree that you have done a great job of showing everyone what a Charter School really is all about. Thank you for this.

The most important thing is to know that the students are very happy attending at Three Rivers Charter School. The video is great, congrats!

FANTASTIC NATHAN!!! WHAT AN EDUCATIONAL VIEW OF CHARTER SCHOOLS...AND WHAT A FANTASTIC PRESENTATION OF THE THREE RIVERS CHARTER SCHOOL. This school rocks because of 2 fantastic leaders - - Congrats Mrs. Holtgraves and Ms. Bales and staff.

As a seventh grader at TRCS, I am constantly amazed by the challenge I have at this unique school. And I speak for the entire school when I say we're al rooting you on, Nathen! (and your dad)

Great video, very informative. I love the transitions!

Our children have been so happy to be part of this school for the past 4 years. It is an awesome place, as highlighted by this video!!!

It is very interesting to hear what charter schools are, I would take my kids to this type of school in a heartbeat

This video should be distributed to other Scools.It is very interesting

What a great idea.Really nice documentary on Charter Schools.Lillian

Really nice documentary on Charter Schools. This best testimony of this success of this school is listening to one of the students himself. I wish there was a school like this in my neighborhood. Just imagine how positive the future of this country could be if everyone had the option to send their kids to such an institution.

What a great idea! Looks like the perfect place for a student.

really liked that a kid himself presented it. some great info and cool effects!

As a mother of a 6 year old wondering about magnet and charter schools for my boy, this was an excellent tutorial about the in's and out's of a charter school. And what better way to be taught than by a student of what sounds like a fabulous, trailblazing school. Thanks for the info!

In a world with plenty of dismal educational examples, it's inspiring to hear about a positive educational model.

very interesting... didn't know much about charter schools. i'm upset they don't get government help as much as regular schools.

Wow, I'm so proud to have one my kids attend this school. I am so impressed with the level of education being offered and how forward-thinking and creative the leaders are. I pinch myself everyday for how lucky I am that he is getting a custom, top-quality education from the best there is.

Charter schools should be promoted and advertised. I find myself conversing with parents who had no idea this is available. It is important to know that we have options besides the regular school system, and we should always look for what's best for our kids.

Thank you for this pod!

This video does a great job showing off the school, administrators and teachers. More people need to know and understand Charter Schools. I wish I could have attended Three Rivers when I was a kid. What a great experience and education.

We don't hear enought about schools that are excelling. I love that they are pushing the boundaries, and are succeeding academically as well.
