Definitions frame the boundaries and understanding of any conversation and school choice is no exception.
The Education Independence Glossary of Terms is designed to equip you with the accurate definitions you need to engage in the school choice conversation. While we recognize that not everyone uses these terms in the same way, we are committed to using them with consistency, honesty, and intellectual integrity.
A more complete glossary of terms is coming soon!
