Columbia, SC—Americans for Prosperity-South Carolina (AFP-SC) said National School Choice Week is the perfect time to celebrate opportunities that fit learner’s unique needs as thousands gather around the nation to highlight access to a variety of education pathways.

AFP-SC has long stood for the value that education should not be a one-size-fits-all model that limits parents from making the best choices for their children. This week, AFP’s grassroots base is joining National School Choice Week celebrations in cities such as Columbia and around the country to carry the momentum for expanded and diverse learning options available to all South Carolina students.

AFP-SC Director of Public Affairs, Candace Carroll, released the following statement:

“We are thrilled to celebrate National School Choice Week, a time to recognize and appreciate the diverse educational options available to families across South Carolina. To best serve South Carolina’s learners and their future aspirations, we must continue to work with legislators to ensure all opportunities for education freedom and growth remain available and universal while supporting traditional public schools, private schools, homeschooling, micro schooling and other pathways to success.”

Background

Following the South Carolina Supreme Court’s decision to invalidate the Education Scholarship Trust Fund Act, Carroll published a letter to the editor advocating for a flexible educational environment that supports all South Carolina students. AFP-SC has made joining the 12 states who’ve already passed universal school choice and customization a top issue of its 2025 priorities.
