St. Augustine Preparatory Academy

Private K-12 Christian school in Milwaukee

Overview

St. Augustine Preparatory Academy provides private K-12 Christian education in Milwaukee, serving a diverse student body that often uses public voucher programs. Its approach centers on personalized instruction within a four-pillar model—faith, family, academics, and athletics/arts—with specialized STEM, art, and chemistry facilities across its campuses, funded by vouchers and support from the Ramirez Family Foundation. The school distinguishes itself by its large, campus-scale operation, explicit Christian ethos requiring teachers to be practicing Christians, extensive facilities (theater, natatorium, athletic complexes), and a five-star DPI rating. Its goal is to expand access and capacity for faith-informed education while developing leaders and strengthening the community through new campuses and ongoing philanthropic support.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • North Campus opened August 17, 2026 with 330 students and nearly 1,300 applications.
  • September 24, 2026 grand opening drew 250-plus supporters and confirmed strong community demand.
  • Aug Prep expects 2,700 students across campuses in 2026-27, expanding revenue and reach.

What critics are saying

  • North Campus needs $25 million fundraising, exposing Aug Prep to donor concentration through 2026.
  • Voucher dependence ties tuition revenue to Wisconsin choice-program rules and political attacks.
  • If Ramirez family support weakens, $103 million North Campus economics break quickly.

What makes St. Augustine Preparatory Academy unique

  • Gus Ramirez funded Aug Prep’s 2026 Glendale North Campus and 2017 South Campus.
  • Aug Prep blends Christian instruction, vouchers, and major donor capital across two Milwaukee campuses.
  • The school claims top-five-percent Wisconsin academic growth and 100% 2026 graduate placement.
