Q: What is a charter school?

Charter schools were established to give parents academic choices for their children and provide a learning environment to improve student achievement.

A: Yes. BBA has a "school spirit" uniform. This means students must wear a Battle Born Academy shirt but may wear bottoms and shoes of their choosing, with appropriate imagery or content.
