replicate their school models, turning educational visions into
reality, with the goal of ultimately improving student achievement
by increasing school choice and catalyzing competition within the
American K-12 public education system.
CSDC has a special focus on new schools, schools serving
predominately low income students, and schools in communities with
poor performing traditional schools. Whether it be a direct
loan, credit enhancement (lease or loan guaranty), or a complete
turnkey facility, built-to-suit on a fee for development services
or lease-to-purchase basis, put our resources and expertise to work
for you.

"When students arrived on the first day of classes on
August 17, 2011, they walked into a beautiful school building. This
would not have been possible without the financial support of the
Charter School Development Corporation … A partner like CSDC means
that a charter school can provide their students with an
environment that will support academic performance. When we say
that we couldn't have done it without them, we mean it."
