School Choice

School choice is the process of allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently. School choice scholarships, also referred to as educational scholarship accounts (ESA), educational vouchers, opportunity scholarships or tax credits, offer financial aid programs enabling students to attend their preferred school, such as private and charter schools or school at home, rather than being limited to their local public schools. These scholarships empower families to have greater flexibility in selecting educational options that align with their children's specific needs.​
