The Universities of Wisconsin’s Office for Educational Opportunity approved a first step for the proposed North Star Preparatory high school, the Cap Times reports.
The tuition-free school will be on Madison’s north side and serve grades 9-12.
The school now has until Jan. 12 to submit an application for the second phase of its approval process.
On its website, the school said its mission “is to reignite students’ passion for education by offering personalized, career-focused learning experiences that inspire, build skills and foster resilience. We are dedicated to providing the tools, support and guidance needed for all students to achieve on-time graduation and confidently pursue their future careers.”
