Private School Choice
Arizona has five private school choice programs: one education savings account (ESA) program and four tax-credit scholarship programs. The ESA program allows parents to customize their child’s education, which can include private school tuition as well as tutoring, online learning, educational therapy and more. Tax-credit scholarships help families afford to send their children to participating private schools.

Public School Choice
Arizona has inter-district and intra-district open enrollment policies, which allow students to attend traditional public schools outside their zoned school. Arizona also allows magnet schools.
Charter Schools
Arizona has a robust charter school community. Charter schools are publicly funded schools that are free from many of the regulations that restrict traditional public schools.
