Mission Statement
Cherokee Charter Academy will continuously develop the next generation of American citizens by developing creative, problem-solving minds through the education of the whole student. Our school will have a challenging learning environment with high expectations set in a creative and caring atmosphere to grow the intellectual, character, physical, social, and emotional sides of all our students.
