First Aired June 17, 2023
Principal Tom McPherson discusses charter schools – specifically, the Endeavor Charter Academy in Springfield (Battle Creek). Charter schools, many of which now have established track records, are a school of choice for many parents.
McPherson discusses what sets them apart, Endeavor's partnership with Grand Valley State University and the potential for students to qualify for the Bearcat Advantage when they leave Endeavor.
