Distance Education - Close Connections

​​​Last year there were over 1,050 student enrollments in distance education courses or enrichment through NWECS alone. Distance education enrollments totaled 7,500 within our Wisconsin Association of Distance Education Networks (WADEN).
Virtual Learning
We are a consortium of Wisconsin school districts that work together to share courses and educational programming through video conferencing and digital resources.

Close Connections
Our teachers strive to develop meaningful, supportive relationships with students and their school staff no matter the learning mode and despite being miles apart.

Quality Instruction
All of the courses are taught by school district teachers and follow WI DPI standards. Individual time with students is offered. Many high school courses include advanced placement or college credit.
