Our Mission on Myspace:

School Choice Illinois would like to initiate an open dialogue about the School Choice Movement in Illinois as well as what is happening nationally regarding educational policy.

We would like to invite all that are interested to discuss in depth the broad range of issues surrounding educational choice and educational freedom. We would like to hear from parents, students, policy makers, the business community, faith-based leaders as well as community activist in order to promote and better understand the critical educational issues we all face.

Founded in 2006, School Choice Illinois is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit education organization dedicated to expanding educational options throughout the State of Illinois.

Why We Exist
We believe parents should have the freedom to choose the educational options that best meet the needs of their children. Yet, current policies are stifling and prohibit parents from selecting non-traditional public schools and other educational options. Therefore, there is a desperate need for all parents to have access to high-quality K-12 schools. By allowing parents to have educational options, each parent will be empowered to have a say in the future of his/her child.

What We Do
We analyze, dissect, and distill important and relevant policy information that has the most potential to increase educational options for children. Our goal is to create an environment for sustainable policy change.



What Makes Us Unique
We are policy-focused. Our work does not benefit one specific party, education option, or school. We see policy change as equaling results. And results mean greater benefit to all children in Illinois. In addition, we are a diverse team whose backgrounds mirror those who would benefit most from the educational policies we promote.
