The Holy Cross Way
At the heart of Holy Cross School are teachers, pastors and staff who have a deep and abiding love for God, for each other and for our school. Our students—from kindergarten through eighth grade—thrive in an atmosphere where learning is a fun, positive, empowering endeavor and students and teachers truly care about each other.
In addition to many experiences outside the classroom, we offer a rigorous curriculum that provides our students unique experiences, develops their critical thinking skills and self-confidence, and prepares them well for the next steps in their academic careers. Our coursework includes instruction in:

Our students also study spelling, learn to write in cursive, and memorize songs, hymns, Bible passages and other pieces for performance. All students in our upper grades participate in our handbell choir, and private piano lessons are available for students at any level.
Accreditation
Holy Cross Lutheran School is accredited through WELSSA (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod School Accreditation.) The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction reports the performance of all schools and districts, including charter schools and private schools participating in a parental choice program. This report includes outcomes in four priority areas: student achievement, student growth, closing gaps, and on-track to graduation and postsecondary readiness. Schools receive scores in each priority area. The accountability report also measures student engagement indicators that affect student success.
