Mission
See Schedule OThe mission of the National Accelerator of Autism Charter Schools (NAACS) is to support founding teams committed to starting Autism-Focused Charter Schools by offering fellowships, training, resources, and a national network of support.

Teams will visit NAACS Demonstration Sites in Arizona and Florida four times during the school year for immersive training in active autism school settings. The goal will be to equip founding teams to lead an evidence-based, autism-focused charter school that is compliant with public charter laws. The NAACS Fellowship focuses on training in competencies essential to running a successful autism-focused school.

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $764k to $568k (−26%).
