Course Choice is a new program that gives Arkansas students in grades 6-12 the opportunity to take high-quality courses that may not be available at their home school.
These courses can help students explore their interests, earn important credits, and prepare for life after high school – whether they plan to attend college, join the military, or start a career.

HAPPY LOVE TEACHING WEEK 2026❤️
We celebrated the heart of Arkansas classrooms all week long.
Elementary Edition: What makes you love teaching?
Here are some of their answers:
"I love teaching, for the "light bulb" moments and all the sweet hugs!"-Lori Chastain, K
"I love teaching kids new things, but my favorite part is comparing their beginning of year to their end of the year progress!"-Holly Burroughs, 1st
"I love teaching because it's so fun to hear the way kids think. Every day is a new day and their little minds are always spinning and wondering. Oh to have the wonder of a child again."-Morgan Reeves, K
