From private schools to afterschool programs, more than 20 schools and community vendors will showcase their offerings at the event, which takes place 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Eastland Baptist Church.

This event is planned to coincide with the celebration of National School Choice Week (Jan. 22-28, 2023), which will feature tens of thousands of school choice celebrations across all 50 states. Additional flagship events in Florida include a student showcase in Miami and a library celebration of learning in Homestead.

The Week is a project of the nonpartisan, nonpolitical National School Choice Awareness Foundation.
