Every child deserves the same opportunity for a great education.  That means, every child must have a choice of a school that meets their needs and interests.  The process of the past where a student is assigned to a school has fallen short of the promise of an equitable education for each child. 

The Choice program offers many advantages to children today...

• Small learning communities
• Theme-based academies relating to student interests
• Increased parent empowerment and involvement
• School models with demonstrated success will be employed
• Rigorous college-ready curriculum
• Enhanced teacher and staff commitment
• Build meaningful relationships (rigor, relevance, relationships)
