Rhinelander’s three charter schools, Northwoods Community Elementary School, Northwoods Community Secondary School and Rhinelander Environmental Stewardship Academy, are all working hard to offer local students excellent learning environments and expanded educational opportunities as part of wider effort by the school district’s strategic planning committee to enhance the area by improving its schools.

The charter schools are also reaching out to include those students who are home-schooled for religious reasons or because they have previously struggled to succeed.

“NCES also offers a K-5 virtual program for students that have previously been home-schooled,” Jacobi said. “Teachers work closely with families to provide an individualized program that meets the needs of the child, and virtual students are invited to school for guidance, library, music, art, physical education, projects, field trips, and other school activities.”
