National School Choice Week Celebrates Educational Options

National School Choice Week has been celebrated since 2011, and it’s America’s largest celebration of educational choice. This year’s events will take place virtually, and the kickoff is scheduled for January 25th at noon.

Michigan families, schools, and organizations are hosting over 1,000 virtual celebrations across the state from January 25 – 30th. The events are non-partisan, non-political, and not related to any legislative advocacy campaign. They are simply opportunities for Michigan families to raise awareness about school choice.

In Michigan, families can choose a variety of options for educating their children. Students can be enrolled in public, private, charter, or magnet schools, or they can be educated at home through online academies or homeschooling. Parents are free to choose which option works best for their families.
