CS Partners has been focused on helping charter schools in Michigan succeed since 1996. We understand that every school is unique, because each of their students is unique. We seek to understand the needs of each school we work with to help them build a solid foundation both academically and operationally. Our management support services include the areas of curriculum and instruction, assessment, school climate and culture, special education, leadership development, compliance, budgets and accounting, enrollment and retention, facilities and human resources. School choice allows families to seek out public charter academies that are the best fit for what their children need to succeed in education. We empower educational excellence by providing these schools with a clear mission, a strategy to implement that mission, the freedom to work, and the time they need to focus on students, teachers and parents.
