Learning Choices

Geography, socioeconomics, circumstances, age and learning styles shouldn’t be a barrier to success.  We believe more learning choices will break down the barriers and lead to better academic and economic outcomes in Idaho.

Find the right fit

Finding the right fit is not about one type of education being better than another, but about access to options that best fit a student’s preferred learning style — because not everyone learns in the same way.  Finding an option that fits include private schools, charter schools, virtual schools, homeschooling, a traditional public school or a combination of multiple options.

Options force accountability in the education system and allow access to various learning environments, methods and instructional delivery that work for the individual and their family. Whether trying to find a fit for K-12 or postsecondary education—there must be a delivery system and instructional methods that work in urban, rural and frontier settings.

Focus of Find the Right Fit Initiative

    • Increase the understanding and awareness of school choice options and value.
    • Support efforts to develop charter schools in counties that currently are not served but where there is sufficient community support.
    • Improve the quality of virtual charter schools.
    • Charter Schools continue to outperform traditional schools in AYP and student proficiency.
