Est. 2001 EAA/OASD Third Grade Aviation Charter School
The Oshkosh Area School District established the EAA and Oshkosh Schools
Third-Grade Aviation Charter School in partnership with the Experimental
Aircraft Association (EAA) Aviation Foundation, developing and
implementing an aeronautics-based curriculum that incorporates an aviation
theme across content areas, including art, music, and physical education.
The curriculum and learning approach includes Web-based and distanceeducation
links to the EAA Aviation Foundation to provide access to aviation
resources (aeronautics personnel and experience, research and development
facilities, aircraft and aviation artifacts, and network resources). The EAA
Aviation Foundation supports eight supplementary Internet WebQuest units
that are coordinated with the eight units of the class-room curriculum. Each
unit follows a standardized format that clearly presents the components of
introduction, task, process, resources, evaluation, conclusion, and teacher
pages.
Through existing programs such as experimental Files, Operation Aviation,
Night Flight, and Formation Flight, students directly observe or participate in
a variety of discovery and project-based activities.
Est. 2004 East High Charter School
The primary goal of Oshkosh East High School is to offer students who are at
risk the opportunity to achieve their high school diplomas in a nontraditional
educational setting that is focused on career development and exploration.
Many of the students are behind their peer group in credits needed to
graduate. The Oshkosh East High School staff works with students in grades
9-12 in mapping out their educational needs. Together they develop a plan to
implement accelerated course work that is career-focused and based on
standards and benchmarks so that students will meet the requirements of
graduation in a timely fashion. Many of these students are at risk due to
truancy or credit deficiency or because they are parents or have
social/emotional issues and/or substance abuse problems.

The Franklin Key to Learning Charter School is a whole-school conversion
to charter school status within the Oshkosh Area School District. The school
provides students in Kindergarten through 5th grades, and their families, with
an exciting learning environment built upon cutting-edge, research-based
practices and a unique democratic governance structure in a genuinely
inclusive school community. The mission statement, known by every child
and adult in the building, guides all activities. “Every person, every day, will
help others feel valued and respected as we learn and grow together.”
Jacob Shapiro Brain Based Instrution Laboratory
School
Research supports the neuroplasticity or malleability of the human brain.
Therefore, by utilizing strategies and tools that positively influence brain
chemistry and ultimately cognitive structure, we provide students with the
skills necessary for independent, higher level thinking and learning. Based on
that conviction, the overall project goal of the Jacob Shapiro Brain Based
Instruction Laboratory School will be to create a modifying (transforming)
environment where modifiability and adaptability of the school participants is
modeled and flexibility, change and adaptation are the norm.
