What is school choice? School choice is the process of allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently. That’s why school choice is so important!

During the week of January 23rd - January 29th, Frontier students celebrated in various ways. Elementary students practiced and learned the NSCW official dance, some campuses drew pictures and wrote why they love their school, and many students from all schools proudly posed for school choice pictures.

Frontier Schools recently received a grant from the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) to purchase 1,600 Chromebooks for distribution to each student's home for accessing school programs, applications, etc.

Take a look at what our parents are saying!
