Curtin is known for its student leadership focus and strong community environment. We are a Wisconsin PBIS School of Distinction and a Project Lead the Way School known for quality instruction. We have a small neighborhood feel to our environment immersed with positive character development; promoting positive attitudes for future leaders.  Art, gym, music, library, clubs and extra-curricular sports support the success of our K-8 program. Our students participate in leadership activities that include: Student Council, Middle School Advisory Committee, service learning and our Junior Coach program. We are a leadership academy that develops student learners into tomorrow’s leaders, one child at a time.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics focus

As a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) focussed school, we offer students access to hands on learning to explore new learning concepts.  All teaching staff is trained in the Project Lead the Way curriculum that gives students exposure to engaging projects in the areas of engineering, biomedical sciences, and computer sciences!


Partnerships Matter!

Burlington adopted our classrooms with a generous donation of $5,000

Burlington is truly a caring company, and they are committed to the communities where they live and work. Supporting learning is one of their top priorities in empowering those in their local store communities to live a better life and build a better future.

Thank you to our partners!

Students learn best when they are able to apply their learning to the real world. We rely on our partners and the many field trips students take to extend and apply their learning outside of the classroom.
