The School Choice Road Trip
The School Choice Road Trip was created to explore how school choice is transforming education across America—through the powerful stories of parents who found the right path for their children, and the educators who are making it possible. Our Events and Program Services Coordinator, Scott Leven, led the effort, traveling to five states—Ohio, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas—to showcase how a wide range of educational options are providing real solutions for families nationwide, including traditional public, public charter, magnet, private, online, home-based, and non-traditional schools.
Part of a five-part series, these stories highlight the many dimensions of school choice and how families are navigating their options with confidence. In our first two stops, we visted Ohio, South Carolina, and Tennessee, where we met the parents and educators of a public charter school and two private schools. Now, we’re on the road again, this time hearing from four parents in Arkansas who have chosen the path of microschooling at Lighthouse and the Learning Lounge.
Missed the first two stops in our journey? Don’t worry – you can still catch up below and hear how school choice is making a difference through the voices of parents, students, and educators at Explorers Academy, Second Baptist Christian Preparatory School and Lakeway Christian Academy. Their stories offer a powerful look into how school choice is shaping the lives of families nationwide.
More Stories Coming Soon
This is just the beginning. Over the the coming weeks, we’ll release more stories from the road—each one highlighting a different part of the country. Stay tuned for the next chapters in our series, where we will continue to share stories that shine a light on how families are finding support and opportunity through education.
