K4 Charter School
Next Door’s K4 Charter School offers a full day of programming through a partnership with Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS). The partnership includes MPS support for Next Door students with special needs, field trips and training for Next Door teachers. This program works to ensure students achieve academic and social-emotional benchmarks so they are ready for first grade. Teachers also form close relationships with parents as partners in their child’s education.
There is no cost to qualified families. See our Enrollment page for details on qualifications.
