186. Core Knowledge Charter <strong>School</strong><br />
Verona’s Core Knowledge Charter <strong>School</strong> (CKCS) is a school of choice<br />
for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. It follows a rigorous<br />
curriculum that focuses on core academics. After extensive study, parent<br />
organizers chose the Core Knowledge Sequence and Direct Instruction<br />
for CKCS’s educational program. The Core Knowledge Sequence<br />
identifies the subject matter to be covered in literature, science,<br />
geography, history, art, and music. The Direct Instruction program<br />
prescribes the content and instructional method teachers use for reading,<br />
mathematics, spelling, and writing. These are carefully sequenced and<br />
coordinated programs built on skills learned in prior years.<br />

187. New Century <strong>School</strong><br />
New Century <strong>School</strong> in Verona was Wisconsin’s first parent-initiated,<br />
elementary-level charter school. It serves children in grades KG-5<br />
multiage classrooms.<br />
New Century <strong>School</strong> was founded as a partnership for learning among<br />
students, teachers, and parents. Its goal is to nurture the child’s<br />
continuous progress and independence as a lifelong learner through an<br />
integrated curriculum emphasizing science and mathematics. New<br />
Century <strong>School</strong>’s staff members believe this overall approach best meets<br />
a changing world where familiarity with science and mathematics is vital<br />
and where working cooperatively in groups and independently on<br />
individual initiatives are all important.<br />

188. Laurel High <strong>School</strong><br />
Laurel High <strong>School</strong> is an alternative educational choice for high school<br />
students in grades 9-12. Enrollment is open to all high school students in<br />
Viroqua. The typical charter school student is a nontraditional learner<br />
who needs more challenge and active learning opportunities than are<br />
available in the regular high school. The staff looks to offer a secondarylevel<br />
education program that is student-designed, learner-driven, and<br />
supported by a true collaborative community effort.<br />
The charter school’s overall mission is to offer self-motivated<br />
individuals new approaches to meet their academic and technical<br />
education needs; to challenge students to meet high standards of<br />
academic and social achievement and performance; to foster positive,<br />
respectful, and trusting relationships; and to ensure a successful transition<br />
to life after school through firsthand experience in goal setting, job<br />
seeking, job keeping, and technical college or university preparation.<br />
