Atlantis Charter School

What Atlantis Charter School does

Atlantis Charter School is an independent public charter school serving kindergarten through Grade 12 students in Fall River, Massachusetts. Founded in 1995, the school operates from a 98,000-square-foot, multiple-building facility on 46 acres overlooking South Watuppa Pond, maintaining a 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio across roughly 122 employees and serving more than 30,000 students cumulatively over its history. The school's core academic program is structured around Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and is differentiated by five school-to-career academies launched in 2017: Business and Entrepreneurship (with MIT-Sloan, UMass), STEM and Manufacturing (with MIT-IDM, Raytheon, UMass Dartmouth), Arts Culture and Design (with Berklee College of Music), Teacher Development (with Teach for America, UMass College of Education), and Health-Med Tech-Sports Medicine (with Harvard Medical School, Boston Children's Hospital, St. Anne's Hospital, Laerdal Medical).

The business model is that of a publicly funded Massachusetts Commonwealth charter school. Atlantis is tuition-free for families and is funded primarily through per-pupil state tuition calculated by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, supplemented by federal and state grants and private contributions. Enrollment is governed by a blind lottery without regard to protected status. The school is accountable to DESE and operates under a five-year charter granted by the Commonwealth's Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. Marketing is conducted through a website, virtual tour, Constant Contact newsletters, Instagram, and community events targeting families in the Greater Fall River and SouthCoast Massachusetts region. The school holds no patents or trademarks, has no identified parent company, no venture or private equity ownership, and no subsidiaries or M&A activity.

1. Per-Pupil State Tuition: For each child enrolled, Atlantis Charter School receives a tuition amount from the state equal to a per-pupil amount calculated by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's school finance office. The state deducts the same amount from the sending district's state aid account. As a public charter school, tuition is free for students.
2. Federal and State Grant Funds: Like other public schools, Commonwealth charter schools are eligible to receive federal and state grant funds.
3. Private Grants and Contributions: Commonwealth charter schools may apply for private grants and receive contributions.
