Wisconsin Independent Charter School Advocates is the only state-wide organization serving Wisconsin’s independent charter schools.

Who we are?

What are Independent Charter Schools?

Independent Charter Schools (ICS) are charter schools that are not authorized by a public school district. They are created and governed under Wisconsin statutes chapter 118.40. Within that chapter, two types of Independent Charter Schools are created under sections 2r and 2x. These ICS are sometimes referred to as 2r/2x charters.

Join us in making a difference

There are 35 2x/2r Charter Schools in Wisconsin with a total enrollment of approximately 15,000 students. If they were combined into a single district, they would represent the poorest, most diverse district in Wisconsin outside of Milwaukee Public Schools.

Our Mission

WICSA's mission is to advocate for academic resources and funding to allow high-performing independent charter schools in Wisconsin to grow and serve more students.

Outreach

Additionally, WICSA works with Non-instrumentality Charter Schools which are chartered by local districts but have independent boards.
