Mission & Philosophy

Two students from Notre Dame School of Milwaukee listen intently during a tutoring session.

Mission

The Rising Stars tutoring program, an affiliated ministry of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, endeavors to strengthen reading and math skills of at-risk students in areas of urgent need in the city of Milwaukee and surrounding areas.

Philosophy

The foundress of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Blessed Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger, once said, “Follow the star rising in you; it will certainly lead you to Jesus.” In her spirit, we educate with the desire that students grasp the star rising within them, the light which beckons them to achieve their greatest potential.
