MORE ABOUT WISCONSIN BOARDING SCHOOLS

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is the state agency that advances public education and libraries in Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s goal is to ensure every child graduates ready for further education and the workplace. The Wisconsin state education agency has the responsibility to lead and model with one another, and reflect in our work, the principles of equity needed in Wisconsin schools.

Wisconsin requires children ages 6 to 18 to attend school regularly in a public, private, or boarding school. Students and parents who choose non-public instruction can select either a boarding school or a home-based private educational program. Boarding schools differ from home-based private educational programs in that boarding schools provide educational programming to more than one family unit. In contrast, home-based educational programs are "provided to a child by a child's parent or guardian or by a person designated by the parent or guardian."

Wisconsin Academic Standards specify what boarding school students should know and be able to do in the classroom. They serve as goals for teaching and learning. Setting high standards enables boarding school students, parents, educators, and citizens to know what students should have learned at a given point in time. In Wisconsin, all state standards serve as a model. Locally elected school boards adopt academic standards in each subject area to best serve their local community.

Wisconsin requires a minimum of 22 credits to graduate high school boarding school. Students must complete one of the following three options: online learning, community service experience, or service learning. All students in Wisconsin must pass the district civics test.

Wisconsin offers students academic excellence when it comes to boarding schools while also giving them diversity and adventure. Students attending boarding schools in Wisconsin can have it all, from beautiful lake coastlines to farmlands to mountainous terrain!
