Wisconsin Virtual Academy
 A tuition-free, online public school option for grades K-12

Wisconsin Virtual Academy (WIVA), authorized by the McFarland School District, is a full-time, tuition-free, online public school option for students in grades K-12 living anywhere in the state of Wisconsin. We provide an individualized, high-quality education.


Our goal is to deliver a personalized, high-quality education so that each child may reach his or her full potential through: Read more...

Individualized Learning and Personal Attention: Every child receives an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) and one-to-one attention. You will experience a close learning partnership between you, your child, and Wisconsin-licensed teachers. We provide a mastery-based approach to learning in grades K–8, and multiple course levels and support in grades 9–12.

Exceptional, Extensive Curriculum: Our school offers more course offerings than most brick-and-mortar schools. Not only more choices, such as dozens of career-building electives, but also subjects that are not offered in many schools, including AP, art, music, and world languages. There are opportunities for potential early graduation and/or earning college credits. We also offer opportunities for Advanced Learners and allow students to learn at their own level.

A Strong Community and Partnership: Wisconsin Virtual Academy offers an active, supportive school community with a wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities. Face-to-face activities include a talent show, field trips to exciting locations like museums, parks, and zoos. WIVA even hosts an end-of-year Jamboree where families and staff come together to celebrate all of the past years accomplishments. Plus, teens can enjoy prom, and even a graduation ceremony.

And we only succeed if your child succeeds. The result is exceptionally high satisfaction ratings from the parents and students who attend our school. In fact, 91% of WIVA parents say they’d recommend the K12 curriculum to a friend or family member and 90% of students say they’ve benefitted academically from the K12 curriculum. Another measure of success is that our graduates have gone on to attend such prestigious colleges as University of Wisconsin, Boston University, Marian University, and Ripon College. One thing is certain, our graduates tell us they feel better prepared than most to take on life. They have learned to think critically for themselves; learned to take on responsibility; and have been nurtured, supported, and challenged.

AWESOME Dad

Well, most are! I know your kid's daddy might not be tops in your book, yet, in the eyes of your child, he probably is. I am so grateful that when my husband and I mutually took the risk to vow to spend our lives together, then had/have children, (while not always perfect) he ended up being quite the awesome dad.

April Wrap Up: Wrapped in Love                           In recognition of April being Autism Awareness month, Just Add Kids welcomes Colleen Nagle, a Burlington mom, as JAK's guest blogger. Autism is easy to misunderstand, misinterpret and mislead.  My son is the master of disguise and the best way to understand our kids is to assume nothing.  That is, assume only that they are kids, children, teens, silly, loving, intelligent and, well, simply put, no different than any other kid. Everything I have been told about Autism is wrong. Everything I know about Autism I have learned from my son.  My son with Autism.  He loves me just like his typical siblings love me, he cries when he misses me and he smiles when we are together again.

He cannot speak.  He has never been able to express his favorite color or cartoon or game.  My heart longs to know him, to know the little everyday things: to know that he has favorites; to know that he likes the food I serve him; to know if

Putting Thoughts Into (60 Second) Action                Just Add Kids welcomes Mollie Bartelt, a Caledonia mom, as JAK's guest blogger Do you want to make a difference in your life this summer? Or make a difference for a child who has a life threatening illness? Or win $1000 in a fun challenge? Game on! My story began six months ago, when my happy, healthy nine year old daughter came in from outside playing in the snow feeling dizzy. We became alarmed when she couldn’t stand up after resting a bit...her legs were wobbly and criss-crossing and she appeared to have no balance. A few short hours later in the emergency room, the situation looked worse as she was starting to slur her speech and not even be able to get words out correctly... and she couldn’t get her hands to work to put a snack in her mouth.
