Enrollment Steps
Thank you for your interest in Odyssey Academy of Virtual Learning! Please follow the steps below to begin the enrollment process. If you have any questions please contact the Odyssey Office at (920) 748-4625 or odyssey@ripon.k12.wi.us.
Step One: Open Enrollment Process
Families who reside in the Ripon Area School District can skip this step and go directly to Step Two.
Families that currently reside outside of the Ripon Area School District radius must complete the open enrollment process. Apply for open enrollment through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI). The open enrollment application period for the 2025-26 school year is February 3 - April 30, 2025 at 4:00p.m.
If the open enrollment deadline has passed, complete the Alternative Open Enrollment Application through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction after July 1, 2025. Alternative Applications can be sent to our district registrar at registrar@ripon.k12.wi.us. Please wait patiently as it can take up to 10 days for applications to be processed and a decision to be made. Families will receive notification of the application decision via email.
Step Two: Charter School Application
If the student is a district resident or your open enrollment application has been approved please apply to Odyssey Academy of Virtual Learning using this Charter School Application Form. Families will receive notification of the application decision via email.
Step Three: District Enrollment Process
District Enrollment for new families (either resident or newly accepted open-enrolled) is the next step. This is done through the Families tab on our website on the Enroll New Student page. If you have any questions along the way please contact our district registrar registrar@ripon.k12.wi.us or at (920) 748-4600
Open enrolled students must receive an ACCEPTANCE NOTICE prior to completing the District Enrollment at the link above.
Students currently enrolled in a brick & mortar school of the Ripon Area School District must complete the In-District School Transfer Form. The completed form should be returned to your child’s current school office.
Step Four: Additional Paperwork
Once the online district enrollment is completed you may wish to complete the Free/Reduced Application or may need to turn in some additional items if you did not do so online. Please return any additional documents to our district registrar at 1120 Metomen Street in Ripon or registrar@ripon.k12.wi.us.
- Free/Reduced Application
- Birth Certificate
- Guardianship Documentation (if applicable)
- High School Transcript (if applicable)

Step Five: Welcome to Odyssey!
