Charta školy sú K-12 školy financované daňovými poplatníkmi, ktoré sú spravované súkromnými spoločnosťami. Na Novom Zélande boli najprv povolené charterové školy po dohode medzi národnou stranou a stranou ACT po všeobecných voľbách v roku 2011. Kontroverzné právne predpisy boli schválené väčšinou piatich hlasov. Malé množstvo charterových škôl sa začalo v rokoch 2013 a 2014 a zapisovali študentov, ktorí bojovali v bežnom školskom systéme. Na začatie charterových škôl požiadalo 36 organizácií.

How do you think the quality of your education would change if your school was privately managed?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Do you believe schools should be more like businesses, or should they remain under public control, and why?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What factors would make you choose (or avoid) attending a charter school if given the chance?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you feel about the idea that some students have better educational opportunities because they can attend a charter school while others cannot?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Do you think schools should be allowed to make a profit, or should education be seen as a public service that isn’t focused on money?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
If a charter school promised smaller class sizes but less funding for extracurricular activities, would that be a good trade-off for you?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Do you think it’s fair for public school systems to compete with charter schools for funding, or does one naturally deserve more resources?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How might the presence of charter schools affect the community where you live, both positively and negatively?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Should parents be allowed to choose which school their child attends, even if it means the public funding is distributed unevenly?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
If charter schools result in higher test scores for students, does that mean our public education system should adopt similar methods?
