Est. 2006 Merrill Elementary Healthy Living Charter
Merrill Elementary Healthy Living Charter, educating children in
kindergarten through fifth grade, is an innovative approach to education that
serves children emotionally, physically, and nutritionally, recognizing the
impact of student well-being on academic success.
To stress the importance of a physically active lifestyle our students are
engaged in a minimum of 20 minutes of physical activity daily.
Nutrition is a major component in our charter school. All children are
served breakfast daily. A partnership with UW Oshkosh enables the school
to enlist the support of nutritionists and nursing students to provide
instruction to the students and their families on healthy food selection and
preparation. Also, students are regularly introduced to new foods, especially
fruits and vegetables, to expand their repertoire of food choices.
Est. 2003 Oakwood Environmental Education Charter School
The Oshkosh Area School District has created an environmentally focused
charter school that targets fourth- and fifth-grade learners at Oakwood
Elementary School. The Oakwood 4th and 5th Grade Environmental
Education (EE) Charter School adopts an interdisciplinary approach to
instruction that encourages hands-on, environmentally themed experiences to
provide students with a better understanding of all core academic subjects, as
well as an appreciation for and understanding of environmental conservation
and protection. Enrollment was initially open to as many as 175 fourth- and
fifth-grade students, who are held accountable to the same academic
performance standards as other students. The Oakwood 4th and 5th Grade EE
Charter School is intended to serve as a model for effective, comprehensive
thematic study across all content areas in alternative settings using the
environment as the integrated context.

The Parkview Charter School serves at-risk students in grades 10-12. The

education staff and administration, board of education members, law
enforcement, human services, and community business members.
The curriculum is delivered in a student-centered learning environment that

multiple intelligences forms the basis of the charter school’s teaching
methodology, accommodating different student learning styles and

students, school, family, and employers who focus on shared responsibility
for the students’ success.
The school also aims to provide a safe, orderly, and healthy environment
that allows students to achieve to their full potential. The focus is on
prevention and intervention strategies that engage students in positive school,
work, and community experiences.
