Est. 1996 Beaver Dam Charter School
Beaver Dam Charter School is a district initiated school, serving at-risk
students in grades 6-12. In the charter school environment, these students seem
to flourish. Attendance among students moving from the regular school to the
charter school has improved. Student admission is based on attendance
records, academic records, and behavioral and psychological needs. Students
may refer themselves or be referred by parents, teachers, employers, or friends.
The Beaver Dam Charter School’s goal is to assist students in becoming
valuable members of the community through three major components:
academics, personal and social skill development, and employability skills.

Est. 2007 Eclipse Center Charter School
The mission of the Eclipse Center Charter School (ECCS) is to provide
educational programs that allow students to approach their intellectual,
entrepreneurial, and creative potential through rigorous and relevant
instruction and development of positive relationships within a safe and
inspirational environment. The ECCS provides a diverse selection of
instructional contexts which will incorporate the characteristics of successful
schools. The “contexts” in which these characteristics are included consists of
four “strands.” The strands are: Career and Technical Education, On-Line
Learning, Concept-Based and Credit-Recovery. The ECCS is a high
performing school with a staff dedicated and committed to ensuring the
success of every student.
Est. 2007 Roy Chapman Andrews Academy
The vision for Roy Chapman Andrews Institute (RCAI) is to create an
environment that will empower students in grades 9-12 to successfully achieve
their educational goals, create an attainable vision for their future, and partner
with the community to actualize their vision. Students are empowered by
designing projects that demonstrate mastery of performance standards in math,
science, social studies, and language arts as designated by the Wisconsin State
Standards. It is envisioned that students will spend little time in an actual
classroom, rather they, with the guidance of certified teachers, will create
community projects that reflect mastery of the performance standards for
Wisconsin while gaining academic credit for graduation. RCAI’s curriculum is
centered on pre-professional community partnerships which will have the
structure of internships undertaken in cooperation with local, regional and/or
international entities, such as business, technical professions, media, health
care providers, legal professionals, municipal, police and corrections,
educational, and governmental and non-governmental agencies etc.
