We enrolled our children in St. Leonard School (middle school and upper elementary grades) after visiting seven public and private options in the greater Muskego area. Two years later, we can confidently say we'd make the same choice all over again! The principal was amazing before, during, and after the transition—addressing all of our questions with patience, empathy, and understanding. The teachers showed a high level of professionalism and kept us updated on our kids' progress. The families welcomed us and our children with open arms. In addition to top-notch, personalized academics, our kids have enjoyed the multi-faceted arts programs, athletics, clubs, classroom buddies, field trips, and more. Our kids are thriving academically, spiritually, and socially. We are certain that they will be prepared in every way for high school. THANKS to St. Leonard's school. Highly recommend!

St. Leonard school has exceeded my expectations. The academics prepare our students for high school and college. St. Leonard continually graduates students that are young leaders, high school honor roll students, and often valedictorian or salutatorians. The teachers are smart, caring, hard workers that challenge the children to consistently do better. It is never a mistake to send a child to St. Leonard, it would a mistake not to. Now with Wisconsin's new Private School Tuition Tax Deduction, it is more affordable to make the decision to attend St. Leonard. Tax deductions as much as $4000 per student makes private school another viable option for families.
Endorse St. Leonard School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
