NCPSO Announces Jane Ferris as Winner of the American Pioneer of Teaching Award!

Welcome to to the website for the National Coalition for Public School Options -- an alliance of parents that supports and defends parents’ rights to access the best public school options for their children.  The Coalition supports the creation of public school options, including charter schools, online schools, magnet schools, open enrollment policies and other innovative education programs.  Additionally, we advocate for free and equal access without restrictions to these public schools for all children.

What We Believe

We believe students learn in unique ways, and it is not possible for every student’s learning needs to be met by the nearest traditional neighborhood public school;

We believe parents should have innovative public school options to meet the learning needs of their children;

We believe public school options are increasingly provided from coast-to-coast through charter schools, online schools, magnet schools, open enrollment policies and other innovative education programs,

We resolve all families should have access to the public school options that best serve their children’s learning needs.
