WHO WE ARE
Leading The Way In The Charter School Movement For Over 25 Years
CSMC’s history echoes the same personal story from which many charter schools are founded. CSMC President Sandro Lanni was searching for a better school for his children and decided to start a charter school, which at the time was a new concept. Sandro quickly realized that leaders of this new school needed a few things:
- Financial Support
- Business Support
Sandro then utilized his professional experience and passion for the charter school movement and launched an organization that would provide financial services at affordable rates for charter schools.
