Welcome

Welcome to Bishop Baraga Catholic School, where we nurture both faith and knowledge in an atmosphere of charity, compassion, and understanding. Our mission is to provide an excellent education in an environment that supports students and families in growing together — academically, personally, and spiritually.

Our classes are intentionally small, with an average student-to-teacher ratio of 10 to 1, allowing our educators to tailor instruction to each student's individual needs and abilities. We are a family-centered community and believe that parents are a child's first and most important teachers — your involvement is not just welcomed, it is essential.

This coming school year we are excited to be expanding our curriculum to include P.E. and Art with a dedicated instructor for Kindergarten through 6th Grade. While Bishop Baraga is a Catholic school, we welcome families of all backgrounds who wish to be part of our school and community. We ask that all students respectfully participate in the teachings of the Catholic Church — we do not require belief, only respect for those who hold it.

We invite you to explore our school and consider whether Bishop Baraga is the right fit for your family. As a special offer, we are providing the first term free to both new and returning families.

We look forward to welcoming you into our community and wish God's blessings upon you and your family.
