Announcing the Inaugural “Multiple Choice” Stage…Toward A Vision of Educational Pluralism

At GSV, we believe that ALL students deserve equal access to a high-quality education and a bright future. With increased options, personalization, and strong accountability, parents, students, and educators are accelerating the growth of a more dynamic, learner-centered K-12 education system. Innovation is flourishing in U.S. K-12 schools, and this “BIG TENT” brings together leaders from public schools and districts, public charters, private schools, states, philanthropies, impact investors, EdTechs, big tech, and innovative school models — including microschools, virtual schools, homeschools, hybrid schools, and more.

Across StageX, Fusion Stage, and the Multiple Choice Stage, we will explore diverse topics including:

• The Role of Technology and AI in Building Future Multiple Choice Systems
• Education Savings Accounts 101
• States Leading the Way for Transformation — Will States Without Choice Be Left Further Behind?
• District and School Leaders Tapping ESAs for Acceleration
• Why Is the Federal Tax Credit for Education Scholarships So Politically Controversial?
• Building a Successful Culture for Students
• How Do We Measure Success?
• Is Accreditation Important?
• Can K-12 Multiple Choice Innovation “Solve” the Skills Gap Students Face Today?
• What About Engagement?
• What About Diverse Learners?
• What Is a Microschool — and Can It Drive Impact at Scale?
• The Next Chapter for Charter Schools
• The Power of Parents
• Building a Consumer-Led Marketplace
