NACSA brings unmatched, on-the-ground experience, built by more than 25 years experience working alongside authorizers nationwide. Our work gives us a singular professional expertise on what quality authorizing looks like in practice—and what it takes to sustain it over time.

We advance and strengthen the ideas and practices of authorizing so students and communities—especially those who are historically under-resourced—thrive.

NACSA equips authorizers—the regulators who oversee public charter schools—with the information, support, and sector-leading guidance they need to do their jobs best.
