Areas School District resident grades 9-12 can enroll in Appleton

those choices could be online courses.

Part-time Open Enrollment, be part of a contract between their

private payment. The current cost for students from outside
of the district is $350 per student, per course, per semester.

or not the family or the district is providing the payment for
the course.

include courses required for graduation but as the school continues to grow
