The 2025-26 academic year will mark the school's second year of its successful College and Early Career Readiness program for middle and high school students. Building on last year's foundation, this refined offering integrates traditional academic subjects with industry-leading, career-focused options like IT, business, health sciences and marketing.

Students can participate in career exploration and industry networking opportunities to build confidence, make connections and find direction to prepare for their future.
"I've seen firsthand how online learning can transform education for families," said Michelle Mueller, Wisconsin Connections Academy's School Leader. "Our dedicated teachers, many who have been with us for years, create a supportive and personalized environment that empowers every student to reach their potential. It's a privilege to continue serving Wisconsin students and families."
Wisconsin Connections Academy provides a high-quality education personalized to meet each student's individual needs. Using accessible technology, the school connects parents, teachers, and students from home or anywhere there is internet connection. Students have regular opportunities to share ideas, compare experiences and have fun learning with their peers through online classroom sessions. Students can also join clubs, field trips, events and other activities throughout the year.
"Online schools provide high-quality education. It is personalized, and I can meet with students individually to meet their needs. I love working with kids from all over the state," said Jennifer Johnston, a Middle School Language Arts teacher at Wisconsin Connections Academy who has been with the school since 2015. "Online students are just as 'present' in virtual discussions. I have found they are just as ambitious and well directed in their coursework, and they are every bit as hungry for knowledge," she added.
Virtual school is a great fit for a variety of students and each student is unique. Wisconsin Connections Academy students are diverse and come from all different backgrounds and educational histories. Some students are academically advanced and struggle in a traditional school setting, while others prefer to learn at their own pace. Other students may be experiencing health challenges or bullying, while some are athletes or performers who require a flexible learning schedule.
The 2025-26 open enrollment application period is open from February 3 through April 30, 2025 for students in grades 4K-12.
