()Next week will see the largest celebration of education opportunity worldwide.

National School Choice Week 2018 will begin on January 21st. It shines a positive spotlight upon traditional public schools, charter schools, public magnet school, private schools, online academy, homeschooling, and public magnet schools.

Our goal is to inform parents that they have many options for their children’s education and to celebrate all the different and effective education options.

There are many ways that parents can get involved in this week of inspiration and positivity.

“Did you know that this is National School Choice Week?”This is a great question to start the discussion.

More Americans will talk about the opportunities in education and more parents will see the many options for their children’s education. More children will be matched with schools that suit their talents, interests, and challenges.

It takes just one conversation to brighten a family’s future during National School Choice Week. Are you ready to create one?
