Families on the Southside of San Antonio are looking for high-quality education options that provide college readiness and career pathways. As new charter schools and choice schools open on the Southside—including a handful of schools in and around the Brooks footprint—families need support to learn about their options and how to navigate the process. School Discovery Days connect families with schools in an efficient, face-to-face format that enables them to interact directly with multiple school representatives in one convenient location.

This School Discovery Day will include 16 choice schools and networks appealing to a wide range of learners. All of the schools are accessible to families living on the Southside of San Antonio, and some of these schools offer transportation to and from campus. Families will have the opportunity to meet school representatives, ask questions, get on interest lists and learn about application processes and deadlines. Additionally, families can receive hands-on guidance from San Antonio Charter Moms team members on navigating the nonprofit’s online tools and resources designed to simplify the search and application process.

Here is a list of participating schools for the School Discovery Day:

• Brooks Academy
