At Siena Catholic Schools, open doors lead to lifelong growth. This is why we open our schools to a diverse student and employee population. Our Catholic conviction calls us not only to open our doors to others outside the faith but to openly seek them, spreading the mission to anyone willing to learn and grow with us. We value small class sizes, but large communities. Behind every student lies a support system of educators, family, parishes, friends, leaders, and many others that nurture students to reach their full potential.
We are proud that our six schools reflect the beautiful diversity of the greater Racine area.
