Join Us at the Idaho State Capitol for National School Choice Week 2026

On Tuesday, January 27, 2026, students, families, and educators from across Idaho will come together at the Idaho State Capitol to celebrate National School Choice Week — and you’re invited.

From 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the first and second floor rotundas will come alive with student voices, school spotlights, and stories that showcase the full range of education options serving Idaho families. This flagship event will highlight traditional public schools, magnet programs, charter schools, private schools, virtual schools, and homeschool communities — all in one place, under one roof.

Hosted in partnership with schools and education leaders statewide, the Capitol Celebration is designed to give students the microphone. Attendees can expect short student performances, program showcases, and an inspiring reminder that when families have options, students thrive.

🚍 Bus Grants Available

To ensure students from every corner of the state can participate, bus transportation grants are available for schools and organizations bringing students to the Capitol. These grants are intended to reduce cost barriers and make it easier for schools to attend and participate in this unique civic experience.

If your school or organization is interested in attending and may need transportation assistance, we encourage you to apply early, as grant funds are limited. MORE INFO

National School Choice Week is about celebrating opportunity, innovation, and student success — and there’s no better place to do that than the People’s House. We hope you’ll join us on January 27 and help us fill the Capitol with Idaho students and stories.
