The Apply Right program will help your planning team get your vision off the ground. The New York City Charter School Center’s team will provide you with the tools, guidance and resources you’ll need to ensure your charter application is ready for submission to New York State charter authorizers.
UPDATE: Availability of Charters
While there are approximately 90 charters available to open in New York State, there are currently no charters available to be issued in New York City. We continue to work with our charter advocacy partners to push the legislature to consider making new charters available for NYC in the coming year.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Apply Right is an intensive series of online seminars that prepares your team to thoughtfully and efficiently tackle the various components of New York State’s charter school applications, including academic design and curriculum, data and assessment, budgeting and operations, and community engagement. Led by former SUNY-CSI authorizer and nationally recognized charter school application consultant, Simeon Stolzberg, planning teams will explore work plans, resources and templates as well as high-quality exemplars from successful applicants to inform the development of their school. Upon completion of the workshop the Charter Center team will be available for quality review and assessment of your readiness for the application process. More information will be available during the Application Workshop.
