Re-Enrollment Begins December 11

Re-enrollment for current students at St. Ambrose will be available December 11, 2024 – January 31, 2025. More information will be shared as the date draws closer and will be through your existing FACTS account. Returning students who miss the January 31 deadline (including siblings and staff children) lose their spot and are grouped in the same pool as new applicants.

NEW! New Student Admissions for 2025-2026 Is Open!

NOTE: Deadlines are EARLIER this year than past years.

This is an exciting time for our school as more and more families are desiring the beauty of Catholic classical education found at StAmbrose Academy! It is more important than ever that parents meet new student application and re-enrollment deadlines.

We anticipate grade level seats to fill earlier than usual, for example, next year’s sophomore class is already full, and more classes are expected to fill up as the admissions season progresses.

Please visit the Admissions page where you can find the new student application and returning student re-enrollment steps as well as the timeline for admissions, tuition assistance, and Wisconsin Parental Choice (WPCP).
