The Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP) is a TUITION-FREE option for parents who want to send their children to a private school but feel that the cost of tuition would be difficult to manage.
The WPCP is government-sponsored and pays the tuition for families that qualify based on income and residency requirements; it will pay for PK4 and Kindergarten (as well as 1st-8th grade), but not for PK3.
Our Redeemer Lutheran School will be participating in the WPCP for the 26-27 school year, and there will be open application periods throughout the year as shown below.
