When selecting a school – parents have a choice
“Parents generally have both greater interest in their children’s schooling and more intimate knowledge of the capacities and needs than anyone else.”
About us
Parents need information, resources, and support to help them navigate Oklahoma’s pre-K through 12 education offerings.
ChoiceMatters is uniquely positioned to lead in this area, statewide, by providing leadership, resources, tools, and drive the discussion by parents about education choice options.
Parents need access to information on current offerings, and how to evaluate and compare education options to determine the best choice for their child.

Education Choice
We are different because we focus on parents and their children, not the system. We help parents identify what education option best fits the needs of each child. Because no two kids are the same – or learn the same way.
