International Charter

Located at 334 Pleasant Street in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, International Charter operates as an open, independent public charter school district within the suburban Providence-Warwick metropolitan area. Functioning as a single-school local educational agency for federal programs, the district focuses exclusively on early childhood and elementary education, serving students from Kindergarten through 5th grade. For the 2024–2025 academic year, the school educates a vibrant and diverse student body of 377 children, comprising 201 female and 176 male students. The enrollment reflects a rich multicultural community, with 251 Hispanic students, 56 White students, 52 Black students, 15 students of two or more races, two Asian students, and one American Indian student enrolled across its primary grade levels.

To foster a supportive learning environment, International Charter maintains a robust operational framework backed by a total full-time equivalent (FTE) staff of 64 professionals. This workforce includes 44 FTE teachers, 5 FTE instructional aides, and 15 FTE support staff members. This dedicated staffing structure yields a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 8.6 to 1, enabling tailored instructional care for each cohort—from its 66 kindergarteners to its 58 graduating fifth graders. Situated in a large suburban setting, the district offers parents and educational researchers a compelling model of a localized elementary charter that pairs comprehensive staff support with a focused academic mission.
