Est. 2003 Flambeau Charter School
• Tony, WI 54563-0086
The Flambeau Charter School is open to high school juniors and seniors as a
student-driven, independent-learner, project-based, performance and portfolioassessed
program with emphasis on career and technology skill development.
The mission of the Flambeau Charter School is to empower capable high
school students to explore and acquire competencies in emerging technologies
and career exploration opportunities and to attain graduation, certification, or
an advanced degree in an independent learning environment of academic rigor
and real life application.
Charter students are required to participate in either a state-certified work-experience
program or a youth apprenticeship program. The goals of the
school include expansion to allow students to (1) explore or master a specific
career area with the use of technology; (2) complete credit and certification
courses; (3) secure dual credit, certification, or advance standing at a
postsecondary institution; and (4) move seamlessly from the high school to the
world of work, the military, or postsecondary training.
Est. 2006 Whitetail Academy Charter School
The Whitetail Academy Charter School is open to at-risk students in grades 9-
12 who wish to pursue a high school diploma in an alternative setting. The
mission of the Whitetail Academy Charter School is to empower at-risk
students to work on a self-paced curriculum and earn credit in a competency
based school rather than in a traditional semester system. Each student has an
Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) that seeks to meet his or her needs. All
students in the Whitetail Academy Charter School must seek and maintain a
part-time job, in conjunction with the School-to-Work program.
The targeted population of the Whitetail Academy Charter School is made up
of at-risk youth who are in need of some intervention in their educational plan
in order to either graduate or make up lost credits. Social skills, employability
skills, and teen issues are also emphasized to help the at-risk students
overcome the issues that interfere with their education.
