Achievements

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.”

"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.”

Annie JohnsonElementary & High School Parent

"Virtual schooling isn't scary anymore!"

“HACIL has allowed my family the perfect amount of flexibility but also the structure we needed to be able to successfully educate our children at home. Taking our children out of the conventional school schedule has allowed us to really learn and grow in areas that we didn’t even realize we needed to and we can’t say enough good things about the staff and phenomenal resources available to us since we joined! Virtual schooling isn’t scary anymore!”
