The Massachusetts Department of Education states, "the purpose of the Massachusetts charter school initiative is to create new independent public schools that increase student achievement, offer parents more choices, encourage school districts to improve, and are held accountable for results. Charter schools, such as Benjamin Franklin, which started from scratch by parents, teachers, business and community leaders have the freedom to organize their activities around a core mission, curriculum or teaching method.
