Support Christ Child Academy's 2024-2025 Annual Fund

For over 130 years, Catholic education has been a cornerstone of Sheboygan’s south side, starting with St. Peter Claver in 1888. Today, this proud tradition continues through Christ Child Academy, where the faith-filled generosity of dedicated parents and community members like you helps our school thrive.

Please visit Christ Child Academy to learn about our excellent Catholic school.

The past few years have presented many challenges, but thanks to your unwavering support, we’ve continued to provide the high-quality Catholic education that our students deserve. Now, as we embark on a new school year filled with hope and joy, we are excited to launch the 2024-2025 Christ Child Academy Annual Fund!

The Annual Fund is our primary fundraiser, raising critical unrestricted funds to help bridge the gap between tuition and the true cost of a Christ Child Academy education. Your generous contributions ensure that we can respond to the evolving needs of our school and students throughout the year.

Our Mission

Christ Child Academy is a Catholic educational community that brings together families from St. Peter Claver, Immaculate Conception, and Ss. Cyril and Methodius Parishes. We celebrate Christ’s love daily through a comprehensive curriculum that nurtures spiritual, academic, character, and social growth. We believe every student is a child of God, infinitely valuable and loved, and we inspire them to reach their full potential in a caring, faith-based environment.

At Christ Child Academy, we combine strong Catholic values with a commitment to academic excellence. Our students, from 3K through 8th grade, grow spiritually, intellectually, and socially. We are proud to be recognized as an Exemplary School by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, and our success is reflected in the achievements of our alumni, including 21 valedictorians or salutatorians in the last decade alone!
