Hillsdale College is getting into the public school business.

The college plans to establish a charter school in the near future and possibly create more, should the first prove a success, said administrators. They have not yet chosen a location for the first school.

"It is an opportunity to break the mold. The idea here is that we're going to seize upon the charter school concept to do something similar to what we do with our private school [Hillsdale Academy]," Associate Professor of Education Jon Fennell said.

If you listen, you can hear liberal heads exploding. :)

Michigan already has the fine National Hertiage Academy Charter Schools, I am curious will they start in MI and branch out or ???

We have a classical academy charter school in the next county. The kids are Hispanic and black, most of them are poverty level and they regularly beat the public schools in all subject areas.

Thanks for your post.

If I were queen of the world I’d have Hillsdale put their charter school right in the middle of Bill Ayer’s contaminated, evil playground:

the South Side of Chicago
