About Us
Indiana Parents for Choice is a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that stands at the forefront of parents rights and education reform in the state of Indiana. Our commitment to equality is powered by three core values, with a singular, ambitious mission at its heart.
Our Values
Parental Empowerment
We firmly believe that parents are, and should be viewed as, the primary decision-makers in their children's education. Every child is unique, and no one understands their needs, strengths, and aspirations better than their parents. Hence, it is critical that parents have the right, the freedom, and the resources to make informed educational choices for their children.
Free Market Principles
We trust in the power of free market principles to foster competition, drive down costs, and improve the quality of goods and services. This should apply no less to education, a service of utmost importance to our society. We advocate for more open, competitive, and innovative educational environments, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.
Accountability in Academic Outcomes
We uphold that schools, educators, and policy-makers should bear more accountability, not less, for academic outcomes. It's not enough to have high intentions; we must also hold our institutions to high standards of performance. We advocate for transparent reporting and rigorous evaluation systems that keep our educational institutions accountable for the success of every child.
Our Mission
Our mission is to establish a Universal Education Savings Account (ESA) program in the state of Indiana, where the accounts are owned by the parents. This program is designed to provide families with the financial resources they need to access the educational opportunities best suited for their children. By empowering parents and creating a more competitive and accountable educational marketplace, we aim to ensure every child in Indiana has access to high-quality education that fits their unique needs and aspirations.
Together, we at Indiana Parents for Choice are striving to revolutionize education in Indiana, creating a landscape where every child has an equal opportunity to thrive. We invite you to join us on this critical journey, as we work towards a future where the power of choice in education is universally recognized and applied.
