CTA Parent& FamilyEngagement
Improving our community through education and helping families.
The Milwaukee Rescue Mission opened Cross Trainers Academy in 2006 with the intent of providing exceptional educational opportunity and the hope of the Gospel. The school, with more than 450 students and a 20:1 student-staff ratio, offers pre-kindergarten through 12th grade classes.
Cross Trainers Academy is part of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program and focuses on strong academic achievement, especially in the areas of reading and mathematics. Through diligent work, students gain the skills necessary to be successful in their academic efforts. Other classes include science, social studies, Bible, physical education, health, music and art.
