Every year, families across the state of Kansas have important decisions to make about their children's education. The second annual WISE K-12 Innovative Education Expo will provide a wonderful opportunity for families to learn about the education options in Kansas, helping families with this ever important decision. This event will bring together educators, administrators, and families to showcase the diverse educational options available in our community.
The WISE (Wichita Innovative Schools and Educators) Expo serves as a comprehensive resource hub where parents can gather information about various educational pathways like micro-schools, hybrid and homeschooling programs, plus other innovative learning options. This one-day event provides a unique platform for families to engage directly with founders and school representatives, allowing them to make informed decisions about their children's academic future.
According to WISE, “Parents will have the chance to speak directly with school leaders, compare different learning models, and discover the best fit for their child—whether they’re looking for full-time, part-time, hybrid, classical, STEM-focused, outdoor-based, or special needs education options.”
What makes this expo particularly valuable is its commitment to helping families find the best education option for each of their children. Attendees will have the opportunity to:
- Meet face-to-face with founders from micro-schools and other education programs
- Learn about enrollment procedures and deadlines
- Discover the affordable options available for families
- Connect with other parents and families looking at non-traditional schooling
The timing of this expo is crucial, as many schools are beginning their enrollment periods for the 2025-2026 academic year. Families who plan to attend the expo will be well-positioned to make timely decisions about their children's educational future.
We hope after attending you will:
- Understand different educational models and philosophies
- Know how to evaluate school performance metrics better
- Navigate the application and enrollment process
- Feel empowered and supported
For families unable to attend in person, the expo will feature virtual components, ensuring that all community members have access to this valuable information. Online resources and digital information packets will be available through the WISE website.
The WISE K-12 Innovative Expo serves as a testament to our community's commitment to excellence in education. By bringing together diverse educational options under one roof, the expo emphasizes the power of choice in education while supporting families in their quest to find the perfect fit for their children.
