Which Whitefish Bay private schools take WI Choice?

113 of the 142 schools on this page are on the state’s official WI Choice list. They are marked with a green check and listed first. Schools marked here appear on the 2026-27 lists the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction publishes for each program. The badge names every program a school signed up for. The state titles these lists “intent to participate”, and a school must still meet every program requirement to be paid.

Will WI Choice cover the whole tuition bill?

Sometimes, but do not count on it. WI Choice pays $11,305 a year for grades K to 8 and $13,799 for grades 9 to 12 in 2026-27, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
