203. Pathways
The goal of the Winter Pathways Charter School is to enable enrolled
students to gain enhanced knowledge of the world around them, to
improve their understanding of self and others, and give them a real
working knowledge of modern and future learning tools and resources.
All students will participate in parent-teacher-student conferences and
online assessment to identify a tentative post secondary goal and develop
a personal learning plan to reach that goal. Students will maintain an
e-portfolio of completed work, assessments, and personal learning plans.
Students will engage in meaningful, educational, online relationships
with mentors and teachers in distant locations.
Parents are involved in developing their child’s personal learning plan
and in reviewing progress with their child through the school year.
Community members sit on the Governance Board and provide hands-on
opportunities through internships and job shadowing.

Wisconsin Rapids, WI 54494
The Central Cities Health Institute (CCHI) serves students grades 11-12
in South Wood County school districts, including Wisconsin Rapids
Public and Private Schools, Nekoosa Public Schools, and Port Edwards
Public Schools. The institute is designed to increase the career exploration
and exposure in all health careers. The high demand to fill jobs
in the health care industry in South Wood County and across the nation,
and the increased rate of students interested in health careers verified the
need to create this charter school. Students are engaged in classes to
prepare them for entry-level work experiences as well as post secondary
education. Students have the opportunity to gain first aid and CPR
certification and nursing assistant certification in the charter. The
curriculum includes hands-on, work-based education to increase
students’ critical thinking, academic, and employability skills. A major
goal of CCHI is to assist the health care industry in recruitment and
retention of committed, mission oriented health care employees.
