January 20-26 is National School Choice Week. That makes it a great time to learn more about opportunities for school choice here in New Hampshire. And one of those opportunities is something called ‘town tuitioning’, which is relatively unknown for something that’s been going on for more than a century.
- Some interesting facts about town tuitioning in New Hampshire:‘Tuitioning’ is when a town that does not offer a grade pays tuition to send its students to other schools.
- These can be public schools, or private non-religious schools.
- They can be in New Hampshire, or in neighboring states (like Vermont and Maine).
- The town can cap the amount of tuition it pays, with the parents paying anything above the cap.
- Private school tuition is often less than the cost of comparable public school tuition.
- This has been going on in New Hampshire for more than 100 years!
Check out the new Tuitioning web page at Granite Institute. Your district may already be doing it!
