K-12 Education Press Coverage

The National School Choice Awareness Foundation (NSCAF) is a 501(c)(3) private operating foundation that organizes charitable programs to advance K-12 school choice and empower parents to discover and navigate education options for their children.

NSCAF’s programs are deployed in collaboration with our sister organization, the National School Choice Resource Center, a 501(c)(3) public charity. 

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 Navigate School Choice, to ensuring equitable access to school choice information through Conoce tus Opciones Escolares, our charitable programs benefit tens of millions of Americans each year.

How We Help

The National School Choice Awareness Foundation supports reporters covering K-12 education and school choice by providing:

Reliable Policy Insights

We track education policy changes nationwide and share research, data, and context for journalists covering school choice programs, emerging trends, and state-level developments.

Practical School Choice Guidance

Our experts provide clear explanations on essential school-choice topics such as Education Savings Accounts (ESAs), open enrollment, what families should know during school open houses, the different types of school options, how to choose the right school for their child, transportation options, and more.

Annual Survey Insights

Each year, we conduct national polling to understand parent perspectives and emerging trends in K–12 education. These findings help journalists put school choice data into context and identify shifts in what families want and need.

Connections to Communities

We help reporters connect with parents, school leaders, and partners who can speak to their experiences with K-12 options in their state.

Spokespersons

Our spokespersons are available for interviews on school choice programs, education policy, and timely K-12 topics shaping the conversations in communities across the country.
