learning through developmentally appropriate and research-based assessment

prevent later learning challenges, leading to success for all students.

Est. 2007 Pathways
• Winter, WI 54896-0310
The goal of the Winter Pathways Charter School is to enable enrolled
students to gain enhanced knowledge of the world around them, to improve
their understanding of self and others, and give them a real working
knowledge of modern and future learning tools and resources. All students
will participate in parent-teacher-student conferences and online assessment
to identify a tentative post secondary goal and develop a personal learning
plan to reach that goal. Students will maintain an e-portfolio of completed
work, assessments, and personal learning plans. Students will engage in
meaningful, educational, online relationships with mentors and teachers in
distant locations.
Parents are involved in developing their child’s personal learning plan and
in reviewing progress with their child through the school year. Community
members sit on the Governance Board and provide hands-on opportunities
through internships and job shadowing.

Est. 2000 Kilbourn Academy
• Wisconsin Dells, WI 53965-9636
Kilbourn Academy opened in January 2000. The academy serves at-risk high
school students in grades 9-12. Kilbourn Academy provides an
individualized learning environment for students who have been alienated
from the traditional educational process, have exhibited a high rate of failure
or truancy, or have dropped out of school. Broad goals of the academy
include (1) motivating students to develop more positive attitudes toward
school, (2) improving school attendance, (3) enhancing students’ self-image,
(4) providing career counseling, and (5) teaching job-seeking and jobkeeping
skills.
Kilbourn Academy provides students with nontraditional approaches to
meet their high school graduation requirements. Academic development and
the pursuit of a high school diploma are the primary components of the
program. Students earn credits in core subjects using NovaNET’s computerbased,
online, self-paced, inter-active curricula. Employability and work
experience are secondary components of the program and are strongly
encouraged.
