Milwaukee Renaissance Academy provides an academically rigorous
curriculum for grades 6-12. Milwaukee Renaissance Academy serves
students who are considered at risk of academic failure because of their
socio-economic status. One of the Academy’s overall goals is to close the
achievement gap.
The mission of Milwaukee Renaissance Academy is to ensure that all
graduates have the skills and knowledge to succeed in competitive colleges
and professional careers.
There are three core beliefs underlying our mission and vision to provide
students the superior education that will lead to college and professional
careers. We believe that:
A. All students deserve an outstanding education that ensures preparation
for and access to college and professional careers.
B. Character development, focused on the development of perseverance,
social responsibility, and professionalism are critical components for a
student’s success in school, work, and life.
C. Direct exposure to new opportunities, experiences, world languages
and cultures builds the character, comfort, and confidence needed to
be competitive in an increasingly global economy and society.
Milwaukee Renaissance Academy students WILL ACHIEVE, WILL
OUTPERFORM, WILL LEARN, WILL PARTICIPATE and WILL EARN
ADMISSION, as a graduation requirement, into a four-year accredited
college or university.
