About This Cause
Since 1956, St. Coletta Day School has been providing quality educational programming for children with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities. Our students come from the Greater Milwaukee area to learn in an environment of respect. A positive and structured learning atmosphere helps the students to achieve their best academically, socially and spiritually. Since our inception, St. Coletta Day School has been partnered with St. Sebastian Parish. Our long history helps to provide the consistency and stability necessary to maintain the strong bond between the two schools. Our program is best suited for students who are at least eight years old and capable of academic achievement and possess sufficient self-care skills to be independent. In addition to our elementary classroom, we have a middle/high school component that was started in the fall of 2010. In 2017 we started an 18-21-year-old transition program. In the 2018-2019school year, we enrolled a total of 30 students, 25 in the school program and 5 in the transition program. We currently have a waiting list of students eager to enroll. What sets us apart from other programs that work with students with disabilities is our learn-at-your-own-pace program. We offer a small class setting in a comfortable and safe environment. Structure and flexibility within the classroom setting ensures self-esteem. We partner with: the Urban Ecology Center for environmental education, Mount Mary University for occupational therapy consultation and with Alverno College for art education and art therapy activities.
