Glidden Class ACT Charter School is aimed at high school juniors and
seniors who learn best through Project-Based learning, are selfdisciplined,
and desire to learn more about our global economy and the
skills necessary to compete in the 21st century.
In the Glidden Class ACT Charter School, "A" stands for applied skills,
"C" stands for career-focused, and "T" stands for technology-enhanced.
Working with the charter school staff, students develop a personalized
learning plan that will prepare them for a successful post-secondary
transition. Course work to satisfy the plan may include online classes,
distance-learning classes, and local classes taught by Glidden teachers.
The school’s mission is to empower students to become independent
learners in a technology-enhanced, self-directed, interdisciplinary
curriculum emphasizing teamwork and self-determination. The Glidden
Class ACT Charter School ensures that students become globally aware
and able to effectively use information and communication technology to
prepare for a career and meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Est. 2003 26. Academy of Learning and Leadership
The Academy of Learning and Leadership (A.L.L.) is a City of
Milwaukee authorized charter school serving K4-8th grade children and
their families in the LaVarnway neighborhood of the central city of
Milwaukee. Faculty and staff focus on active pedagogy to develop
learning competence, and leadership confidence in our children. Care for
the person, team relationships, creative experiential learning, reflective
practice, and community service are at the heart of A.L.L. We work to
create an environment of safety, exploration, creativity, dialogue, and
choice. Our vision is to work for the common good of our children,
families and community to support healthy living, lifelong learning,
caring families, stable communities, a just society, and a peaceful world.
Expeditionary Learning frames the learning methodology; it
emphasizes standards-based learning by doing, with extensive fieldwork
in our community. Teachers connect high-quality academic learning to
adventure, service, and character development through a variety of
interdisciplinary, Project-Based learning expeditions.
Expeditions are designed around McREL and State Standards and
Benchmarks that challenge all learners to know, do, understand, and
grow in meaningful and engaging ways. Every adult within the A.L.L.
community is called to a deep and active commitment to the formation of
the children of the Academy through the excellent teaching of values,
skills, and knowledge.
