Est. 2007 18. Roy Chapman Andrews Academy Mark Dax #26 Eclipse Center, 1701 Riverside Drive Beloit, WI 53511 (608) 361-3340 mdax@sdb.k12.wi.us Grade Levels: 06-12 The vision for Roy Chapman Andrews Academy (RCAA) is to create an environment that will empower students in grades 6-12 to successfully achieve their educational goals, create an attainable vision for their future, and partner with the community to actualize their vision. Students are empowered by designing projects that demonstrate mastery of performance standards in math, science, social studies, and language arts as designated by the Wisconsin State Standards. Students will spend little time in an actual classroom, rather they, with the guidance of certified teachers, will create community projects that reflect mastery of the performance standards for Wisconsin while gaining academic credit for graduation. RCAA’s curriculum is centered on preprofessional community partnerships which will have the structure of internships undertaken in cooperation with local, regional and/or international entities, such as business, technical professions, media, health care providers, legal professionals, municipal, police and corrections, educational, and governmental and non-governmental agencies etc. Birchwood School District Jeffrey Stanley 201 East Birch Street Birchwood, WI 54817 (715) 354-3471 jstanley@birchwood.k12.wi.us Grade Levels: KG-08 Jeffrey Stanley 201 East Birch Street Birchwood, WI 54817 (715) 354-3471 jstanley@birchwood.k12.wi.us Grade Levels: 07-12 Frank Helquist 300 S Wilson Street (715) 354-3471 www.birchwood.k12.wi.us/ charterschool/ Est. 2008 19.

BRAGS semesters mirror the schedule of the BRF High School, with plans to move towards a model with three months of project based course work followed by a one month vacation period. This charter school is designed to promote service and experiential learning through the identification of real community needs that are then addressed and remedied by the BRAGS students. BRAGS provides an all encompassing and ecologically sustainable themed education for up to 25 students in grades 10-12. The mission of this unique charter school is the provision of a learning experience through real world projects, life skill development, and environmental career exploration. Examples of these career opportunities are found among the many businesses and governmental agencies located in and around our community in areas of alternative energies, water and soil quality, forest management, organic agriculture, fish and wildlife management, waste management and eco-building design and construction. The curriculum covers a wide spectrum of materials and academic levels in order to ensure a customized fit to the individual student’s learning style. Students are assessed upon enrollment in BRAGS and they participate in standardized and local assessments to ensure academic growth. Blair-Taylor School District Dennis Dervetski P.O.
