Wisconsin Virtual Learning
The Wisconsin Virtual Learning (WVL) is K-12th grade public virtual charter school located in the US state of Wisconsin. It is part of the Northern Ozaukee School District.
There were 841 students enrolled in 2009-2010.
WVL uses a variety of online curriculum providers:
- Lincoln Interactive
- Calvert School
- Aventa
- Florida Virtual School
Students receive a notebook computer, printer, and, if necessary, a wireless router/access point. Education takes place online but includes a variety of offline learning activities. As students progress through the grade levels they spend progressively more time online. Books and other offline materials are an integral part of earlier WVL programs.
