Tuition & Costs
How much does online public school cost?
No tuition is required for students to attend Insight School of Wisconsin (ISWI). As an online public school, ISWI is a tuition-free alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar public schools. Since students can enroll from anywhere in the state where internet is available, we’re able to provide a powerful school choice, making quality education more accessible for all Wisconsin students in grades K–12.
Just as with onsite public schools, there are some online school fees for supplies and materials that will help your child be successful with online learning. Read below for more information about how online public schools are funded and what costs families can expect to incur.
Quick Facts About Online School Fees
Families do not pay tuition for a student to attend an online public school. Students must have access to a computer with an internet connection. Families/students who do not have such technology may contact ISWI for one loaned computer system (including laptop computer and printer) to support the learning process. Students who do not have internet access may contact ISWI to request (upon completion of required necessary forms, updated Point of Contact information, etc.) a wireless internet card and/or other means of internet access. Common household items and office supplies, like printer ink and paper, are not provided. Our enrollment consultants can help address your technology and computer questions and needs.

How Tuition-Free Online Public School Funding Works
The concept of public funding is at the heart of the tuition-free model of online public schools. Just like traditional public schools, ISWI is funded by taxpayer dollars and state education budgets. This financial support ensures that students can access quality education without the burden of online school fees.
