This is from their website:
The Villages Charter School (VCS) is identified as a "Charter School in the Workplace" and operated as a Florida not-for-profit corporation and federally recognized 501c3 charitable organization.. Established through Florida law, charter schools in the workplace are public charter schools with the ability to target a specific student population. Charter schools are public schools of choice. In our instance, the targeted population is the children of the employees of our sponsoring company, The Villages of Lake-Sumter, Inc., the fastest growing single-site development in the country. Simply stated, our students are drawn from a workplace boundary rather than the typical public school geographic boundary. For the most part, our students reside in the counties of Lake, Marion, and Sumter (separate school districts) and are dropped off at school by their parents as they travel to work. Tax dollars are being supplemented with private commitment and investment.
