Overview
St. Jude of the Lake is a Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 7 school (Grade 8 beginning Fall 2023) that is committed to helping students develop intellectually, spiritually, and personally into the person God created them to be. We are dedicated to fully preparing children for their future by developing their faith, mind, and character.
At St. Croix Catholic, when we open the door to welcome a new student, we see a beautiful, unique life that has been Created for Greatness. We believe that God has a specific purpose for this person and it`s our mission, in partnership with parents, to develop this child into the virtuous, faith-filled leader God intended. St. Croix Catholic offers a strong liberal arts education, coupled with opportunities to develop 21st century skills.
This beautiful balance prompts students to focus on challenges relevant to the human race, and to be the compassionate, confident, Christ-centered leaders our world so badly needs. Located in historic Stillwater, St. Croix Catholic School educates children from preK through grade 8, and attracts families throughout the St. Croix Valley, from the east metro, and into western WI.
