2015 National School Choice Week

National School Choice Week is an annual celebration that shines a spotlight on effective education options for all children. Every year thousands of events take place across our nation, bringing positive attention to the importance of high-performing schools. The week is a nonpartisan, nonpolitical celebration featuring all types of educational environments for kids: public, private, charter, online and homeschool. As America's largest annual celebration of educational opportunity, National School Choice Week illustrates the inclusiveness and diversity of school choice. Choice adds vitality to the educational climate in a community. The week brings awareness to the value of effective options, where traditional public, public charter, public magnet, private secular, private non-secular, online learning programs, and homeschool programs come together to celebrate choice.
