The Center for Education Reform

Philly: 17 public schools are closing. The Opportunity Knocks Scholarship gives affected families $8,000/year toward private school tuition — renewable through high school graduation. 500 spots. First come, first served. Apply at → OpportunityKnocksPhilly.org

Today, we remember. We honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country — and the families who carry their legacy forward every day. Their courage reminds us that freedom is never guaranteed. It is protected through sacrifice, responsibility, and a commitment to future generations. This Memorial Day, we pause in gratitude for those who gave everything for the opportunities we have today. #MemorialDay
