Preferred term
school choice
Definition
- School choice broadly defines a variety of programs and policies that provide parents or guardians of students at the primary and secondary levels with the option to select the school their children will attend rather than have them attend a (typically geographically proximate) default school. It encompasses a spectrum of policies and practices from public school open enrollment to private school vouchers. [Source: Sociology of Education: An A-to-Z Guide; School Choice]
