EDUCATIONAL FREEDOM
Your Child.
Your Choice.
School Choice Wisconsin is the state’s premier education advocacy organization. Our mission is to empower parents by advocating for high-quality options in education.
School Choice Wisconsin Services
School Choice Wisconsin possesses an unmatched wealth of expertise in Wisconsin’s four choice programs. See the services we provide to schools and parents.
School Choice and Property Tax Relief
Wisconsin property taxpayers should be treated equally in financing the state’s parental choice programs. That is not the case now. Under current law, the state has two methods for financing students in the private school choice programs. School Choice Wisconsin and our partners in the Wisconsin Coalition for Education Freedom ask lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to support removing, or “decoupling,” funding for school choice outside Milwaukee from local property taxes.
For Parents
At School Choice Wisconsin, we strongly believe in empowering parents to make the best education decisions for their children. It is the only way to truly provide an opportunity for each child to secure an education best tailored to his or her individual needs, strengths, and weaknesses. Here you will find information and resources to empower your family’s educational decisions.
For Schools
School Choice Wisconsin will be your go-to partner as you explore bringing the choice program to your school, advocating and assisting at every step in the choice program. We support Wisconsin choice schools through seminars, events, advocacy, and assistance with onboarding and compliance.
Enroll
School Choice Wisconsin knows that the enrollment process can appear daunting. We are here to simplify the process for you, helping you understand Wisconsin’s four private school choice programs, charter program, and open enrollment program allowing transfers to non-resident districts.
Protect School Choice
Legal challenges still loom to dismantle Wisconsin’s school choice programs, jeopardizing the crucial options families depend on for their children’s education. It's imperative to rally together against this threat and preserve the choices that enable our students' success. Help us defend educational freedom and the diverse pathways to learning.
Advocacy
School Choice Wisconsin advocates for school choice with the aim of strengthening and expanding choice in the state. The work of our founders launched the choice movement. Go to our Advocacy section for information and research on choice in the state and around the country.
