School choice breathes opportunity into communities where the public school option fails by injecting competition and challenging the status quo. Our laws should expand the freedom to choose our child’s educational experience. The option to choose which school is best suited to a student’s needs is a panacea for poverty, and increases educational opportunities for all Nevada students.
School Choice and Resources
Microschools:
Microschools expand the traditional educational model to better prepare children for the future. They are small institutions where parents personalize their child’s education. Micro-schools differ from homeschools because often the teacher may be hired or parents of children in the school teach the material. This is why micro-schools are often described as “outsourced homeschooling.” They are free from standardized testing, and mandatory curriculum that defines today’s public school system.

Homeschool:
