Utah offers K–12 students and their families several types of school choice, including three private school choice programs, charter schools, magnet schools, home schooling and inter-district and intra-district public school choice via open enrollment.

Private School Choice
Utah has three private school choice programs: a voucher, a tax-credit education savings account (TCESA), and an education savings account . These programs help families send their children to participating private schools. The ESA program provides families extra flexibility by allowing them to use program funds on more than tuition, including education therapies and more.
