School Choice Week 2023

The goal of National School Choice Week is to raise positive awareness about the K-12 education options available to families in communities across the country. During the Week, participants also shine a spotlight on the benefits of opportunity in education. They help parents with access to a variety of education environments for their children. The goal for this week is to, “empower parents to choose schools for their children,” that are the right fit and will allow them to thrive and grow.

We are blessed, and at the same time humbled, that parents choose to partner with MVCA in their child’s education. Quality education cannot be taken for granted. Our children, your children, deserve to be taught in a way that is inclusive of every aspect of their education, spiritual, academic, social and physical, and includes moral reasoning, ethical standards, and civil living. MVCA has been teaching, training, and making a difference in the lives of children and families for over 30 years. It is only when parents are provided with an educational choice, and the means to make that choice, will our society see better days. We cannot stop fighting for school choice. We will not stop calling on our legislature to do the right thing for the people of this commonwealth.

What is important to recognize is that there is a choice for families now. Making sure that your child is in a right fit school will allow them to thrive and grow. To be able to succeed and be rewarded for their academic excellence. Finding the right fit school will allow them the equal opportunity to shine where they will shine. There is, unfortunately, the financial aspect of transferring out of the public system, but this, too, is changing. West Virginia has one of the most comprehensive School Choice initiatives in the country. Money is now placed in a savings account to be used as parents see fit as long as the money is used for the child’s education. In other words, the money now follows the student. We need to continue to fight for such a program in the Commonwealth of Virginia, so reach out to your state legislators and let them know that you are in favor of Educational Savings Accounts for education choice.

Please join with us as we celebrate National School Choice Week, and the choices that we have in regards to educating our children. Pray with us that Virginia will provide the means for parents to be able to make the choice that best fits their child’s education.
