In the last 50 years, St. Sebastian School has educated thousands of area students, helping them to build solid foundations for a bright future. We are proud of our past, and look forward to continuing into the future, shaping the next generation of community leaders. We are proud to serve the communities of Racine, Mount Pleasant, Sturtevant, Caledonia, Franksville, Union Grove, and even residents of Kenosha County.


St. Sebastian offers quality education for grades kindergarten through eighth grade. Our faith-based education not only prepares students to succeed academically, but also nurtures student’s spiritual development.  Our curriculum focuses on traditional subject areas including: math, reading/literature, social studies, science, spelling, art, physical education, music, and religion. Technology is available in every classroom.


At St. Sebastian, we offer relief from the hectic and sometimes chaotic environment of larger schools. At our school, students and teachers are able to focus on what is truly important. Education. Our small community offers many assets you will not find in larger schools. As such, students receive individual attention from dedicated teachers, and parental involvement is always encouraged. Students are respectful and kind to each other and to their teachers. At St. Sebastian, students are not just a number, but instead they are recognized as individuals with unique talents and gifts that must be fostered. Students understand we have high expectations, and work to successfully meet the learning objectives. Come visit our school soon and witness our “Crusader Pride” for yourself.
