Individualized instruction shapes our grades 8–12 program at Kradwell School. Students work with a customized curriculum in small classes, with one-to-one attention and a Study Support class. Our high school pathway can lead to a state-certified diploma, a return to a traditional school, or another postsecondary goal. Students include those with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression.

We are a public charter school serving students from K4 through grade 12, with science, technology, engineering and math woven through a college-focused education. Families can follow a continuous path from early learning into high school across our Milwaukee campuses.
