"Amazing school. Our son started there in K and we've been exceedingly pleased! Moved to Wisconsin from out of state and simply got lucky with Core Knowledge Charter Schools and Verona. Had we known, we would've planned it like this. Can't ask for better teachers, leadership in excelling or expectation for parental involvement. CKCS challenges the children with outstanding results. It's truly like a family in that it takes a village to raise a child, and all staff take this role seriously."

"This school is amazing! I was worried about putting my son in school early with an August birthday since he would be the youngest, but he has more than thrived! By mid-kindergarten, he learned how to read, was doing complicated math, and excelling in every area. Principal McNally is wonderful, friendly, and very easy to get ahold of if you have a question. The kindergarten class has a main teacher, 2 teacher aides, and parent helpers in the class so the students receive a lot of direct interaction. I highly, highly recommend this school!"

"Parent-led public charter school established in 1996 with 400 students in K-8. Great curriculum and instruction method in smaller ability based groups. An excellent program with research proven techniques and sequencing of lessons to provide a broad base of knowledge. Gives students the advantage for lifelong learning. Check out ED Hirsch's CoreKnowledge Curriculum and Examine the scientifically proven Direct Instruction method for K-5. Website http://www.verona.k12.wi.us/page.cfm?p=8"

"Core Knowledge Charter School has the best of both worlds combined under one roof for students K-8 in terms of both structure & continuity of curriculm and direct instruction for K-5 ! The staff are eminently qualified and continually demonstrate a level of commitment that makes our school one of the best and longest running charter schools in Wisconsin! I invite everyone to view our video on the website and see for yourselves!"
