Choice Schools Association

The Schools’ Association exists to serve students and parents by actively promoting quality in schools and working to empower all parents to have equal access to great schools.

The Choice Schools’ Association serves as a conduit between its members and other school choice agencies and organizations with a primary focus in interrelated three areas. The defining activity of the Association is to advance school quality through both formal and informal processes and services. Because of the importance of this activity, the Association will develop a Choice Schools of Excellence project as well as support school quality efforts in other ways.
