Recognizing the need to provide a quality, Christian education for at-risk children in our community, the Milwaukee Rescue Mission opened CrossTrainers Academy in 2006. Currently offering pre-kindergarten through 5^th grade classes, we have over 110 students enrolled for this school year. The school also serves some of the children who are staying in Joy House.

 

CrossTrainers Academy focuses on strong academic achievement, especially in the areas of reading and mathematics. Through diligent work, students gain the skills necessary to be successful in their academic efforts. In addition to reading and mathematics, a full range of classes is offered, including science, social studies, Bible, physical education, music and art.

 

CrossTrainers Academy is part of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program. Thus, it receives funding for each child whose family income falls below levels that have been determined by the state. However, the funding that is received is not enough to cover all of the costs, in large part because we maintain small class sizes of only 15-20 students. The Milwaukee Rescue Mission is committed to raising the funds that are necessary to meet the basic needs of the school.
