Educational Options

​​​​​A messag​​e for OC parents

The Orange County Board of Education (OCBE) wants to ensure Orange County parents know about public school options, including charter schools and transfers.




Chart​​​er​​ sch​​ools

Parents can choose to enroll their child in the charter school of their choice if space is available, regardless of geographical boundaries. Orange County is home to a number of charter schools, which are tuition-free, non-religious and open to any student.


Tra​​ns​​fers

Parents can request to transfer their child to another school within their district. To initiate a school transfer within your district, please contact your local board of education.

You may also request an inter-district transfer, allowing your child to attend a school in another district within Orange County. If your local district denies the transfer, you have the option to appeal to the Orange County Board of Education.​

District transfer policies are posted on their websites.​
