St. Coletta Day School of Milwaukee
We are nonsectarian educational program that has been helping children with cognitive disabilities since 1956.
Since 1956, St Coletta Day provides an academic, social and life skills curriculum within an engaging environment to meet the needs of students with intellectual/developmental disabilities to realize their full potential and grow as contributing citizens. For the past 20 years, Bill Koehn has been serving the school as lead teacher and administrator. He is supported by an incredible staff of teach

Every parent wants this moment for their child.
At St. Coletta, we make it happen β one day, one milestone, one belief at a time.
We're SO PROUD of him!!!
He's gone from
anxious -to- confident,
stage freight-y -to- cool as a cucumber,
scared to try new things -to- excited to learn,
timid -to- assertive,
passive -to- organized,
and, of course,
he's become one of the best teaching assistants ever!
All while growing academically, gaining several grade levels in math & reading!!
He's earned his graduation
& we know he'll do great things in the !!
When he came to us, he was reserved & disengaged - & this is him just ONE year later π€©:
Teaching the Number of the Day to his younger peers everyday,
Co-Leading the Morning Meeting everyday,
Being in charge of grocery inventory weekly, . . .
Yesterday, he volunteered to lead Mindful Moment & single-handedly got EVERY one of his classmates to participate! π€―π
Here's the thing,
Most public schools don't specialize in intellectual & developmental disabilities.
We do.
So, we don't see a student's struggles or even their diagnoses as
'just the way they are' or a problem to be 'fixed'.
We see the potential begging to be seen, understood & given a chance.
- and we have 70 years of experience to make it happen!
That's why our students don't just become successful in the classroom,
they become successful in life! -
Serving in coffee shops,
Cooking in hospitals,
Stocking produce in markets,
Streaming on Twitch,
Starting businesses selling arts & crafts,
Repairing bicycles, . . .
If you've been waiting for a sign to enroll your neurodivergent child in a school where they'll truly belong,
where they'll shine & flourish πΊ,
This is it!
We've had a few spaces open up for the 2026-2027 school year.
Let's do this - together!

We can't even BELIEVE it's only 1 week until !! π€―
πDominik & Mario have become sooo grown up & will join our Transition Program where they'll focus on job & life skills until they're 21!
πEmma, Ariana & Ah'Kari are graduating from our Transition Program & will go on to serve the community in whatever career path they choose -
because ISN'T a dis-ability, it's a different-ability ππ½
