About the Learning Program

A learning community of scientists—students, teachers, and community experts working on a wide range of projects focused on an even wider range of topics. Our science school is a Wisconsin charter school and a partnership between Augusta School District and Wildlands Charter School. We believe today’s students need options for learning. Wildands Charter School provides students in grades 7-12 with opportunities to:
Develop life-long learning skills driven by self-direction.
Learn in a supportive multi-generational community inquiring into the natural world around us.
Develop their abilities in science, math, technology, English, history, and social studies in a locally relevant context.
Meet the state of Wisconsin’s learning standards through the accomplishment of their personal learning plan.
Learn outdoor recreation skills that will last a lifetime.
Research topics that interest the students and relate to relevant curriculum.
