Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

While virtual school and homeschool are similar in that they’re both options for a home-based K–12 education, online schools in Wisconsin and homeschool programs are quite different! With traditional homeschooling, parents have total responsibility for developing or buying their curriculum, teaching the lessons, and grading student work. With a virtual school, Wisconsin students learn a state-approved curriculum taught by Wisconsin-certified teachers.

Since Wisconsin online public schools are part of the public school system, there’s no tuition to attend a Wisconsin virtual school. Students attend a school at home that meets the same state standards as other Wisconsin students in traditional school settings.

At a virtual school, Wisconsin students can learn at home with parent involvement. Students connect to their curriculum and lessons daily by accessing an online learning portal. They complete lessons at a pace that works best for them, adjusting their schedule to meet their needs and taking part in regular live sessions in a virtual classroom with specially trained teachers and their classmates.

To graduate virtual high school, Wisconsin students must successfully earn a minimum of 23 credits. They must also pass the Wisconsin Civics Graduation Exam.

Students who are state residents have the option to attend an online school in Wisconsin, like Wisconsin Connections Academy. In virtual school, Wisconsin students can learn from home by connecting to their teachers and curriculum online, with the flexibility to complete lessons at the pace that works best for their learning preference. Wisconsin Connections Academy is a great option for families who think online school is the right choice for their child.
