 Parents’ Guide to Idaho’s School and Learning Options

One of the most important decisions parents make in their child’s education and development is selecting the school or academic programs that he or she will attend.

We believe that K-12 education should provide personalize opportunities to meet the needs, interests, and skills of individual students so that they can grow and succeed in college and beyond. We are so grateful to live and work in a state where families have an expanding number of options to choose the learning opportunities that best fit their child’s needs.
