Impact

To raise awareness of school choice and empower parents, we think and plan big. Really big.

From helping innovative schools showcase their successes during National School Choice Week (NSCW), to supporting parents in finding schools that meet their children’s needs via schoolchoiceweek.com, to ensuring equitable access to school choice information and inspiration through Conoce tus Opciones Escolares, the charitable programs deployed by NSCAF and Navigate benefit tens of millions of Americans.
