ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND EDUCATORS FROM ACROSS NEW HAMPSHIRE WILL COME TOGETHER IN CONCORD TO CELEBRATE SOMETHING POWERFUL: THE ABILITY FOR FAMILIES TO CHOOSE THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT WORKS BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
Hosted by Children’s Scholarship Fund New Hampshire in collaboration with the nonprofit National School Choice Awareness Foundation, the Concord Educational Showcase will take place from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Grappone Conference Center and will coincide with National School Choice Week, a nationwide celebration of K–12 education options.
The event will feature student speakers, dance performances, and art showcases, highlighting the creativity, confidence, and growth that can flourish when students are placed in learning environments that fit their individual needs. Families will also share personal stories about how access to different educational options has shaped their children’s lives.
Over the past decade, New Hampshire has expanded access to a wide range of K–12 education options, including traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet programs, private schools, online learning, homeschooling, and other non-traditional models. The Concord showcase is designed to reflect that diversity and to celebrate the students thriving within it.
“Education freedom is what makes moments like these possible,” said Kate Baker Demers, Executive Director of Children’s Scholarship Fund New Hampshire. “National School Choice Week highlights how families, when given the freedom to choose the right learning environment, can see their children thrive. These performances are living proof that when opportunity meets talent, students flourish.”
National School Choice Week runs from January 25 through January 31 and includes more than 28,000 events nationwide. Its purpose is to raise awareness about the full range of education options available to families, empower parents to find learning environments that best meet their children’s needs, and help them feel confident navigating those choices.
