The best experience is the vast number of clubs and activities that people can join at the Charter School of Wilmington. The worst might be the cafeteria food. I would like to see more focus on sports that are not as traditionally popular.

My experience at charter has been interesting. There have been lots of stories of teachers not actually teaching a subject but in my personal experience my teachers have been great. They have been tough at times but it has prepared me for harder things later down the line.

I am currently a student at Florida A&M University enrolled in the Professional MBA course and I have to say Charter has definitely made college seem like child's play compared to the classes I took at Charter I highly recommend any student to apply for the school.

My daughter graduated from Charter and felt ready to go to college. The school was challenging and interesting for her. She enjoyed her time there and the teachers were friendly but challenge their students.

Charter provides an opportunity for serious students to challenge themselves. You don't have to feel embarrassed if you did your homework and you know the answer.
