“optimal match” among the curriculum, emotional/social expectations
and support, and the student’s abilities and needs. ALPs provides an
educational, social, and emotional environment that is appropriately
suited to the unique needs of students whose academic, intellectual, and
creative abilities place them at risk, and whose needs cannot reasonably
be met by the traditional school program.

135. East High Charter School
The primary goal of Oshkosh East High School is to offer students who
are at risk the opportunity to achieve their high school diplomas in a
nontraditional educational setting that is focused on career development
and exploration. Many of the students are behind their peer group in
credits needed to graduate. The Oshkosh East High School staff works
with students in grades 9-12 in mapping out their educational needs.
Together they develop a plan to implement accelerated course work that
is career-focused and based on standards and benchmarks so that students
will meet the requirements of graduation in a timely fashion. Many of
these students are at risk due to truancy or credit deficiency or because
they are parents or have social/emotional issues and/or substance abuse
problems.

136. Franklin Key to Learning Charter School
The Franklin Key to Learning Charter School is a whole-school conversion
to charter school status within the Oshkosh Area School District.
The school provides students in Kindergarten through 5th grades, and
their families, with an exciting learning environment built upon cuttingedge,
research-based practices and a unique democratic governance
structure in a genuinely inclusive school community. The mission
statement, known by every child and adult in the building, guides all
activities. “Every person, every day, will help others feel valued and
respected as we learn and grow together.”
137. Jacob Shapiro Brain Based Instruction Laboratory
School
Research supports the neuroplasticity or malleability of the human brain.
Therefore, by utilizing strategies and tools that positively influence brain
chemistry and ultimately cognitive structure, we provide students with
the skills necessary for independent, higher level thinking and learning.
Based on that conviction, the overall project goal of the Jacob Shapiro
Brain Based Instruction Laboratory School will be to create a modifying
(transforming) environment where modifiability and adaptability of the
school participants is modeled and flexibility, change and adaptation are
the norm.

To stress the importance of a physically active lifestyle our students are
engaged in a minimum of 20 minutes of physical activity daily.
Nutrition is a major component in our charter school. All children are
served breakfast daily. A partnership with UW Oshkosh enables the
school to enlist the support of nutritionists and nursing students to
