Course Choice

The Course Choice program, established by the LEARNS Act, expands access to high‑quality courses for Arkansas students in grades 6–12. Course Choice enables students to enroll in courses not offered at their resident school and supports personalized pathways that prepare students to become enrolled, employed, or enlisted after graduation.
