The demand for school options is evident and the Latino community is one of the most active when it comes to wanting to look for other academic alternatives.
To support the community, Conoce tus Opciones Escolares has developed a series of valuable resources in Spanish for all families. Informative videos, PDF guides of school options by state, and an explanation of each type of school are part of the material that the organization offers free of charge through opcionesescolares.com.
This year, National School Choice Week will see the participation of more than 23,000 schools, as well as millions of teachers, students, and community leaders across the country. This national effort will take place from January 22-28. As a result, the Week will feature the lighting of 51 iconic locations across the country, talent shows, capitol rallies, school fairs, and much more. This year's more than 25,000 celebrations are independently planned by schools, homeschool groups, community organizations, micro-school groups, and individuals.
