About the Gulen charter schools


Our companion site on Gulen charter schools  http://sites.google.com/site/gulenmovementcharterschools/
gives more detailed information on the 150-some public charter schools the Gulen Movement has established in the United States.  These schools are funded with taxpayers' money.

An index of the information on this site is given below. [Note added April 16, 2017. The Gulen Charter Schools website is currently being moved to its new home at http://sites.google.com/site/gulenmovementcharterschools/.   Once this migration is complete, all the links below will be changed to their new URLs.  For now, please just visit http://sites.google.com/site/gulenmovementcharterschools/ and see the Site Index there.]

Gulenists have repeatedly denied that these charter schools have any connection to the Gulen Movement.  For this reason, many pages present the evidence of these connections, including pages for specific schools or school chains.

Here is an alphabetical list of schools covered, with hyperlinks to the relevant pages:
