The largest series of education-related events in US history will be held the week of January 24 during National School Choice Week.

The goal of the events, which are independently planned by schools, organizations and individuals, is to raise awareness of quality K-12 education options for children and families in communities across the country. Some of those options include public, public charter schools and online academies, private schools and homeschooling.

The Week also provides parents with an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the need for even greater education options for their children.

National School Choice Week is an independent public awareness effort. The Week is nonpolitical and nonpartisan, and NSCW does not advocate for or against legislation. For more information, visit www.schoolchoiceweek.com, or visit www.facebook.com/schoolchoiceweek.
