groups of students choose, plan, research and complete academic study and
hands-on projects that result in tangible, real life products. Learning
experiences take place outside the confines of the school building (in the
“real world”) whenever possible; include community experts and cover broad
academic areas of study. The activities require students to develop skills in
time management, teamwork, communication, planning, self-assessment,
problem solving and meaningful applications of acquired knowledge.
The Phantom Knight School of Opportunity is governed by an independent

and Schneider National, two parents, two students, and a member of the
community at-large. The Phantom Knight School addresses three of
Wisconsin’s educational priorities: Serves students at-risk of school failure;
Closes the Achievement Gap; and Encourages Parent and Community
Involvement.

Est. 1998 Waupaca County Charter School
Est. 2006 CORE 4
The Waupaca County Charter School (WCCS) is a collaborative effort of six
school districts, the Waupaca County Department of Human Services, and
one of Wisconsin’s Cooperative Educational Service Agencies, CESA 5. The
school serves students in grades 6-12. The administrative relationship among
WCCS participants is unique. Although the Weyauwega–Fremont School
District holds the charter, the charter school is a non-instrumentality and is
managed by CESA 5. CESA 5 employs all charter school personnel,
including a coordinator who oversees daily operations and ensures
educational goals are attained.

Collaborating On Readiness Education for 4-year-olds (CORE 4) is a public
charter school that was developed to serve as an organizational hub building

The CORE 4 mission is to prevent or close achievement gaps that might
occur among children with limited early learning experiences. Working
together with area providers, CORE 4 increases opportunities for families to
access quality learning environments and also links public health, social,
library, and community agencies in codeveloping unique services to enable
parents to better meet the needs of their growing children. The Parent Co-op
component provides strong individual connections to each child’s family
through participation in the classrooms and family programs.
The CORE 4 School was developed through an Integrated Comprehensive
Services (ICS) model to better meet the needs of children who may present
learning challenges. A range of services can now be offered, as the Whitnall
School District provides services to students with disabilities in both district
and community settings. This ensures that each child will develop and grow
with his or her peers, within the context of the community.
Instruction is provided through a rich range of guided instruction, guided-
