Challenge Academy
The WI Challenge Academy is the reset button Wisconsin high school students behind on credits need. Finish high school on time, get in shape mentally and physically, and learn the life skills needed to reach your full potential.
Founded in 1998 and located at Fort McCoy, the Wisconsin Challenge Academy is an alternative education program designed to reclaim the lives of at-risk youth and produce graduates with the values, skills, education, and self-discipline necessary to succeed as adults.
The Academy is part of the National Guard Youth Challenge Program, a community-based program that leads, trains, and mentors 16-18 year-olds so that they may become productive citizens in America’s future.
Since 1998, our mission is to offer our Cadets the opportunity to develop the strength of character and the life-skills necessary to become successful, responsible citizens.
