Endeavor Charter School is a TK-12th grade public charter school. Endeavor was established in 2020 out of a resource center serving both Mountain Home School Charter and Glacier High School Charter.
Endeavor is committed to three foundational principles. First, parents are to be active leaders in their child’s education. Second, each student’s academic program is personalized to meet the needs of that individual student. Finally, Endeavor Charter School is committed to maintaining high expectations of excellence in both academic rigor and personal conduct for students, parents and faculty.
