Sponsored by the National School Choice Awareness Foundation, this event was first celebrated in 2011 with the purpose of bringing attention to the freedom and resources that are available for parents to choose the best learning environment for their children.
The National School Choice Week events take place early in the calendar year to give families with children plenty of time to investigate the different alternatives for learning that will best meet their kids’ needs.
Since its inaugural celebration more than a decade ago, National School Choice Week has seen hundreds of thousands of different events hosted across the United States, bringing schools and communities closer together and fostering better education opportunities for all.
