You made a wise decision to consult with Advanced Education Services (AES). You now have the expertise and resources that a nonpublic school cannot possible cover with a small staff. Recently, a nonpublic school asked one of our consultants about acquiring a bus to transport students. The consultant immediately placed a cell phone call to the AES fleet manager and obtained the information the nonpublic school needed. Whether is it related to curriculum, state standards, annual or recurring teacher training, school operations, onsite reviews, AHERA management, or a hundred other "alligators" waiting to bite you, AES is there to help.

We offer a compete range of services to charter schools, whether it is the occasional substitute, office services, or a complete special education package. We operate two charter schools ourselves, so we know about your many responsibilities and your challenges.
