If you're interested in learning more about WISE Academy, please complete the Virtual Interest Survey, and we’ll help determine if our academy is the right fit for your family.

Enrollment Process:

• For families living within the Nekoosa School District: Complete the WISE Academy New Student Application to enroll.
• For families living outside the Nekoosa School District: Submit the Open Enrollment Application (available from the Department of Public Instruction starting the first Monday in February, with a deadline on the last Friday in April). After completing this application, you must also submit our New Student Application by May 1st.

Enrollment Selection:

• In May, we review Open Enrollment applications and combine them with applications from district families to determine potential enrollments.
• If applications exceed available spots, a random lottery is conducted to fill openings, with a list created for remaining students.
• Families will be notified in May or early June about their enrollment status and can choose to accept or decline the offer. 
• Final enrollment may be contingent on Open Enrollment approval and/or completed paperwork.

Important Note:

Under current Open Enrollment law, applying for Open Enrollment refers to the district, not a specific school. This means:

• If WISE Academy reaches capacity, students may be approved for enrollment into the district but placed into a different school.
• If this happens, families will receive a letter with placement details and instructions on confirming or declining enrollment.
