Here you will find information and resources to empower your family’s educational decisions.

Testimonials

Sheboygan Christian School

School choice has not only allowed parents within our community to select a school that they believe is a better fit for their children, it has enriched the community within our school. This program is a win/win/win!

Heritage Christian Schools, New Berlin

School choice is invaluable as it provides the opportunity for families to use their own tax dollars to make educational decisions for their children. Choice is also invaluable to the school as it provides consistent financial resources to serve those families.

St. Paul’s Lutheran School, Onalaska

The Wisconsin Parental Choice Program gives parents the means to find a school that best serves their children.

Yeshiva Elementary School, Milwaukee

For many parents in our neighborhood, money is really tight. Yet they want to pick an education that is the right fit for their children’s academics, values, and culture. The voucher program allows them to find the right school so their children can succeed.
