01

New for the Wisconsin Parental Choice Programs
In year's past, the WPCP enrollment window was two and a half months long. That is not the case any longer.
This chart shows the monthly application windows Pella Hill will participate in for the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program during the 2026-27 school year. Families may apply during any open period from February through September. Each month has specific start and end dates, and applications with required supporting documents must be submitted within that window to be considered.
​
Please note that Pella Hill seats are limited. Once all seats are filled, additional applicants will be placed on a waiting list.
02
Enroll in Pella Hill Virtual Academy
Once your enrollment in the WPCP is verified and seats are still available, we will offer you a seat. Our admissions specialist will stay in close contact to ensure a smooth and seamless process.
03
Teacher Assigned
Once a seat has been offered and accepted, your family will be assigned a dedicated teacher who will be your primary contact throughout the school year. This teacher will lead homeroom classes, oversee presentations, provide educational feedback, and engage in in-depth discussions about your children's learning and family dynamics. They will also assist in choosing a learning track and ordering curricula. If you're wondering whether you can choose your teacher, the answer is yes!
04
Attend Kick-Off
At the beginning of each year, Pella Hill holds a Kick-Off. During this fun day, parents will get to open their boxes of curricula, go to workshops, and connect with other Pella Hill families. Students will get to play fun games, meet other Pella Hill students, and have an orientation to launch the school year.
05
Enjoy the school year!
Each child will have a personalized learning plan that combines books and video lessons with supporting materials. With weekly live-online homeroom classes and an easy-to-use computer system for uploading schoolwork and projects, students will demonstrate growth and progress. They can also participate in an array of clubs, art, sports, music, theater, choir, field trips, and chapel, all culminating in a memorable End-of-the-Year Celebration.
