Mission

TO EMPOWER FAMILIES TO CHOOSE THE SCHOOL THAT BEST FITS THEIR CHILD'S UNIQUE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. WE PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS TO LOW-INCOME, K-12 CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT SUCCEEDING IN THEIR CURRENT ENVIRONMENT. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE FUNDED BY THE DONATION OF CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL ALABAMA INCOME TAX LIABILITY. EVERY ALABAMA CHILD HAS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO A QUALITY EDUCATION, WHICH CAN ONLY OCCUR WHEN EDUCATORS AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES ARE EMPOWERED TO CREATE DIVERSE LEARNING OPTIONS AND ALL PARENTS ARE EMPOWERED TO MATCH THEIR CHILDREN TO THE LEARNING OPTION THAT BEST MEETS THEIR NEEDS.
