Find Schools Near Me

Every child is unique, and all children learn differently. Some kids might succeed at the neighborhood public school, while other children might fit in better at a charter, magnet, online, private or home learning environment. That’s why school choice is so important!

If you’re a parent who wants to ensure that your child receives an excellent education, it’s crucial to choose the right school. With so many different types of schools available, it can be challenging to know where to start. This is why we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to help you understand the different types of schools and what to look for when selecting the right one.
