Who We Are
Florida Charter Institute (FCI) was established in 2022 to advance the success of Florida’s charter school movement and help families access quality education choices. We serve as Florida’s hub for charter innovation, with a team of experts who have run schools, managed budgets, and worked in classrooms. We know what it takes and we are here to help your school succeed.
