Putting students first in
every education decision.
EdChoice Kentucky is a coalition focused on educating the Commonwealth about educational choice programs. While educational choice isn't an issue for most wealthy families, the financial reality of a chosen education path has kept many low-to-middle income families from providing their children with the education that best meets their needs.
Our first priority is the student. Education Opportunity Accounts will create more opportunity for ALL Kentucky students.
Impact
EdChoice Kentucky is Empowering families with their choices in their child's education.

- 14 studies found that students performed better across the board when choice programs were an option.
