Read More Testimonials

HACIL was founded in 2003 and is one of the longest operating Virtual Charter Schools in Wisconsin. We have grown from 14 students to now capping enrollment at 250 students, with an annual waiting list.

HACIL’s vision is to collaborate with parents to create lifelong learners through custom-fit curriculum using world-class educational programs.

At its heart, HACIL is not simply a unique educational system and certainly not just a building.

HACIL is the education professionals and those that support them that are dedicated to working with your student—and you!!!—to provide the best learning experience.

How does HACIL stack up?

Like a good student, HACIL’s results are graded and we get a report card. In our case it is the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) doing the grading.

Testimonials

Jen DonohooHigh School Parent

“The freedom to educate as we see fit while helping us meet the academic standards…”

“Every child is unique in how they learn and approach learning, and virtual-schooling has fit this need for our family. HACIL has been instrumental in facilitating and supporting our family to achieve our educational journey. All of the resources HACIL provides (curriculum, enrichment classes, and staff interactions) have given us the freedom to educate as we see fit while helping us meet the academic standards critical for life-long success.”

Hannah AllarHACIL Alumna

“HACIL provided me with the opportunity to learn at my own pace with the necessary hands-on support from my parents.

..”

“As a student who experienced challenges over the course of my elementary education, Hayward Center for Individualized Learning (HACIL) provided me with the opportunity to learn at my own pace with the necessary hands-on support from my parents, unlike what I had received in a traditional classroom. Because of the accountability and resources supplied, my education was in my own hands and provided me with a sense of autonomy and duty. In addition, because of HACIL, I was able to experience home economics and higher education courses in Human Services while completing my senior year of high school. Hayward Center for Individualized Learning equipped me with educational resources and provided me with advantages to accomplish goals that have not only helped me as a student but also as a Adolescent Behavioral Health Science professional.”

Ashley YoderElementary Parent

“Makes individualized learning at home doable…”

“I really couldn’t be more thankful for the support and enhancement HACIL provides for me and my children! It makes individualized learning at home doable and enjoyable for our family. ”

Parents and educators can start their own charter schools to fill a need they believe is unmet. The process involves drafting a petition, a budget, managing a facility, and hiring personnel. Teachers must be credentialed and accountability is overseen by parents, authorizers, and the state.

Charter schools are open to all students, unlimited by geography. That is, Oakland charter schools are open to Berkeley residents and vice-versa. When there are more applicants than spaces available, a lottery system will be used to grant admission.

Charter schools are public, tuition-free schools accountable to state and federal public education laws with extensive oversight by a local charter authorizer, which is often the local school board. There are dozens of charter schools, right here in the 510. Oakland and Berkeley area charter schools offer many choices for in-person and remote learning.

The California Charter Schools Association website reads

Charter schools offer a different approach to public school – one as unique as California’s students. Charter schools put students first and offer the personal attention, creativity, and passionate teaching that students need to learn. Public, free, and open to all, charter schools are a vital part of public education in California.

East Bay charter schools are all different. To see a complete list of charter schools in the East Bay or play with an interactive map to find one nearest your home, visit the California Charter Schools Association online.
