A high-quality, accountable education system is one of the foundational pillars of a free society. It provides the pathway for men and women to pursue opportunity and build independent lives, and it helps create a vibrant, growing, competitive economy.
We know that our schools can and must improve, and we can ensure that more tax dollars reach the classroom. Right now, only 58 percent of your education taxes are invested in classroom instruction, and less than 40 percent of our neighborhood public school students can read and do math at grade level.
At Advance Colorado, we believe in an education system that puts Colorado parents and students first through a system that emphasizes:
At the heart of Colorado’s school system is school choice, in which our state has been a national trailblazer for decades. – a system that has enjoyed deep, bipartisan support.
We craft cutting edge policies that empower parents, taxpayers, and teachers and push back on the status quo interests that resist reform.
Our 2024 Policy Agenda includes several important education reform priorities. Read it HERE
This year, we are leading the charge to protect the school choice rights we currently have – rights that are annually under siege from the education establishment groups that want to eliminate your right to choose the best school for your children. We can secure our rights into the future through a school choice amendment to the Colorado Constitution.

We help citizens become advocates and leaders.

Colorado is a special place with special people. For too long, leaders have stood by while liberal special interest groups and politicians have turned Colorado into a testing ground for some of the most liberal policies and plans in the nation.
