Education is necessary so that Christians can read and understand Scripture for themselves.

Special Recommendations
Students planning on continuing their education in a vocational or technical school setting should consider taking additional credits in math, science, business, or technical education. Well-prepared pre-college students should acquire additional math, science, and foreign language credits. Due to increasing academic competition, a high-grade point average is extremely helpful. Two to four years of a foreign language and advanced study in math and science are essential for the highest-level post-secondary institutions.
Dual Credit Program
WRLHS has partnered with Concordia University Wisconsin and NWTC to offer college credit classes to our high school students. Students must attend WRLHS for a semester before entering the program and carry a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Youth Apprenticeship Program
Wisconsin's Youth Apprenticeship program is a part of a statewide School-to-Work initiative. It is designed for high school students who want hands-on learning in an occupational area at a worksite along with classroom instruction. This one or two-year elective program combines academic and technical instruction with mentored on-the-job learning.
Different consortiums manage the Youth Apprenticeship Program, and its availability differs by the school district. Please see your high school counselor or contact your local Youth Apprenticeship consortium for more information.
Youth Apprenticeship offers several career programs to pursue, and the options may vary depending on the offerings for your local area. The classes are offered in 10 basic program areas listed below.

Study Habits
Time management skills are necessary for productive and successful people. Successful students manage their time wisely during the day and evening, fulfilling the demands of a challenging academic program and at the same time having adequate time for recreation and sleep.
Class Sizes
The student-to-teacher ratio is 10:1. This allows teachers to better address the individual needs of each student. Smaller, faith-based high schools like Wolf River are flexible in scheduling and provide for each student to participate in a wide variety of campus life and extra-curricular activities.
