  1. I am a teacher at Premier High School. We have moved: 8220 Windsor Cross, San Antonio, TX 78239. New phone: 210-650-0944. Please update. Thanks!

  2. Hello,
    I’m Teresa new to the San Antonio Texas area from North Carolina and Ohio, I have a 6 year old son names Dustan and I’m looking for the best school that fits him, I had some questions pertaining bus routes if any, we live near the medical army post center area, hours child attends school how the schedule usually works, the breaks the child has attending the school, I would like more information on what your school offers that a public or any other school doesn’t ,please contact me if possible if u can help in anyway find the best charter school in my area thank you!

  3. How would I find an updated list of charter schools in San Antonio? And are there any others planning on opening up next fall?

    • For Stone Oak families, Great Hearts Northern Oaks, BASIS, and EKHLA are within range. Keep your ears open for more charter school options outside Loop 1604 that may be in the works.

  5. What charter school would you recommend for special needs children with ADHD and high functioning Autism, special needs?

  6. Are you a member of Facebook? The discussion group is a great place to ask questions like that:
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/SACharterMomsDiscussion/
    My son is on the autism spectrum and is doing well at Great Hearts. Going on school tours and meeting with the special education coordinator at each school is a good way to do research and reach a comfort level with the idea of sending your child to a different school.

  7. I can’t seem to find any schools in the SA area that focus on music and/or the arts. Thinking of moving to SA but my daughter is a musician and currently enrolled at a specialized music programming school and looking for something comparable. She’s in middle school. Do you know of anything like this? Her current school incorporates the arts into every subject matter, and she is an honors student.

  8. Hi, I am a teacher certified in the state of OK, and I am moving to San Antonio. I have taught in Texas prior to now, but let my certificate expire. So I can no longer teach in public schools without proving 150 hours of professional development, which is required to reinstate my certificate. Before I take the time to apply for other types of schools, can you tell me if there are charter schools that do not specifically require a Texas certificate, but would allow me to teach with the one I have from OK? I would really appreciate any information you could give me!

    Thanks,
    Sherry Maddux
