About Our School

About St. Mary School

St. Mary Catholic School is accredited through the Wisconsin Religious and Independent Schools Accreditation (WRISA) / Wisconsin Catholic Schools Accreditation and operates in communion with the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

We're unique because we also provide childcare for children as young as six weeks old along with before and after school care. It takes a village to raise a child — and we welcome you to ours.

Our Mission

St. Mary Catholic School is rooted in Catholic values and academic excellence. We are committed to providing an environment rich in diversity, inclusion and belonging, where children of God learn, love and live the faith.

What we offer

A place where every child is known

From the youngest infants to our oldest elementary students, St. Mary is built around the child in front of us.

  • A developmental continuum

    Focused on progression through milestones, learning, and healthy socialization.

  • Childcare 5:30 am – 5:30 pm

    Care that fits real family schedules, for ages six weeks through Grade 5.

  • Personalized attention

    Small classes mean every child is known and excels at their own pace.

  • Safe & welcoming

    Caring, skilled teachers create a place where children feel secure to grow.

  • Play-based and academic

    A curriculum that fosters each child's love of learning — and of God.

  • Starting at six weeks

    One of the few schools in the area caring for our very youngest neighbors.

A small town that shows up for its kids — like the day the fire department came to visit.

Small classes, hands-on projects, and room for every question and every hand.
