The Star Schools Program is a United States government program created to honor schools. Established as part of the United States Department of Education in 1988,[1] the purpose of this program is to:

  • Encourage improved instruction in mathematics, science, foreign languages, and other subjects.
  • Serve underserved populations, including disadvantaged, non-reading, and limited English proficient populations and individuals with disabilities. Star Schools grants are made to eligible telecommunications partnerships, to enable such partnerships to:
    • develop, construct, acquire, maintain, and operate telecommunications audio and visual facilities and equipment;
    • develop and acquire educational and instructional programming; and
    • obtain technical assistance for the use of such facilities and instructional programming.
