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.
