Est. 2006 Osceola Careers Charter School
• Osceola, WI 54020-0128
The Osceola Career Charter School (OCCS) is an initiative of the School
District of Osceola and is open to eleventh and twelfth graders. The mission
of the OCCS is to provide a connection among traditional academics,
leadership and technology, and real-world applications of those skills. Using
a student-centered approach to learning, the school makes use of projectbased
learning that links the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards and
Informational and Technology Literacy Standards to a workplace setting.
Because the school is free of the traditional eight-period day, students
experience focused project time for part of their school day, which provides
time to collaborate with the charter facilitator as well as self-directed work
time. Students also benefit from community and business partnerships that
place them in work settings for career-related performance and learning.
Est. 2005 Osceolas Charter Preschool
Osceola Charter Preschool was developed to provide a public choice for fouryear-old
kindergartners in Osceola, with specific attention to each child’s
social, emotional, and behavioral development. Using a blended model from
the Creative Curriculum for academic areas, the Second Step Curriculum for
general social/emotional development, and Play Therapy techniques for
behavioral interventions, the school’s goal is to provide early intervention for
children and families in order to smooth their transition into full-day
kindergarten programs.
Osceola Charter Preschool operates on a model of four half days per week,
with children attending approximately three hours per day, either morning or
afternoon. Groups run from 18 to 20 children, with children with disabilities
from the Early Childhood program blended in based on parent choice or child
need. Instructional themes are utilized, as is standard in most preschool
settings, to organize learning opportunities over the course of the school year.

Est. 2004 ALPS Accelerated Alternative Learning Program
The Accelerated Alternative Learning Program School (ALPs) is designed to
serve students in grades 3-8. The primary goal of ALPs is to prevent or
ameliorate at-risk behavior by providing students with an alternative to the
traditional school environment. ALPs creates an “optimal match” among the
curriculum, emotional/social expectations and support, and the student’s
abilities and needs. ALPs provides an educational, social, and emotional
environment that is appropriately suited to the unique needs of students
whose academic, intellectual, and creative abilities place them at risk, and
whose needs cannot reasonably be met by the traditional school program.
