Understanding School Choice in Canada provides a nuanced and theoretical overview of the formation and rise of school choice policies in Canada. Drawing on twenty years of work, Lynn Bosetti and Dianne Gereluk analyze the philosophical, historical, political, and social principles that underpin the formation and implementation of school choice policies in the provinces and territories.

Bosetti and Gereluk offer theoretical frameworks for considering the parameters of school choice policies that are aligned and attentive to Canadian educational contexts. This robust overview successfully shifts the debate away from ideology in order to facilitate an understanding that the spectrum of school choice policy in Canada is a response to the varying political challenges in society at large. This book is essential reading for those who desire a deeper understanding of school choice policies in Canada.

Lynn Bosetti is a professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan. She is a senior research fellow at the Barbara Mitchell Centre for  Improvement in Education. Dianne Gereluk is Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs in Education, and an associate professor in leadership, policy, and governance at the Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary.
