SETTINGthe STANDARD

CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY

Working together to set the standard and provide access to quality education.

When the Michigan Legislature responded to Governor John Engler’s call for
the establishment of charter schools in Michigan in 1994, CMU was prepared
to lead. Believing charter schools could serve as a catalyst for educational
improvements benefiting all Michigan children, CMU became the first university
in the nation to authorize a charter school.
