155. George D. Warriner High School for Personalized
Learning
The George D. Warriner High School for Personalized Learning will
serve high school students, grades 9-12. In 2007-08 the school served 28
students. Enrollment is projected to increase by approximately
30 students per year, with a total of 58 students in 2008-09. The purpose
of the charter school is to provide students with learning opportunities
that fit their learning styles as well as meet their individual academic and
social needs. This school supports our diverse student population by
providing opportunities for students to learn at their own pace and in
flexible locations, learn within relevant and motivating contexts and
demonstrate knowledge and abilities required by the SASD’s Standards
and Benchmarks.
The charter school is focused on a personalized learning plan
combining individualized instruction with online instruction for each
student. These learning plans will be the result of a partnership between
teachers, parents and students. Each student plans with a teacher to
identify a learning context that matches his or her instructional, social
and professional goals.

156. Lake Country Academy
Lake Country Academy (LCA) charter school is in the Sheboygan Area
School District (SASD), serving 145 students in grades K4 through 8th,
with a projected increase to 208 students over four years. The school has
operated as a private school since 2001, and converted to a public charter
school in 2007-08.
Lake Country Academy’s curriculum combines Direct Instruction
teaching with Core Knowledge- and Core Virtue-based learning. The
fundamentals of reading, math, and spelling are taught using Direction
Instruction, an approach centered on flexible grouping. Direct Instruction
has been cited as a national model for learning since the 1970’s and is
currently being used in over 1,000 schools nationwide. Material is taught
with logical precision in discrete, child-sized bits, rapid correction, and
careful measurement and assessment. The direct instruction teaching
method is heavy on phonics and studies show it to be effective in helping
students raise their basic skill levels, learning abilities, and self-esteem.

participation in classroom decisions.
Multi-Age Classroom & Flexible Grouping: The initial classroom

the learning pace. In addition to individual work, students work in small
