Abstract: Charter schools that have partnered with nonprofit, for-profit, and public organizations have leveraged human, financial, and organizational resources to help the schools improve. This article discusses a two-year study of charter school partnerships in 11 states which found that formal collaborations helped charter schools to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals by enriching curriculum offerings, broadening teaching experience, and helping at-risk students stay in school. The authors suggest that all schools can learn from the charter schools' experiences.
