As a vital ministry of First Immanuel Lutheran Ministries the purpose of our school is to “Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old, he will not depart from it,” Proverbs 22:6. By following this verse we will develop the whole child − academically, artistically, physically, socially and spiritually – by providing a Christ centered, quality education for the children of the First Immanuel congregation and the surrounding communities so they may through God’s Word and Sacraments.

University School of Milwaukee is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory day school that educates students in prekindergarten (ages 3 & 4) through 12th grade. Families who have chosen USM have made the decision that an investment in their child’s education is the best investment they can make in that child’s future.

Our students not only succeed, they thrive, because we have the very best teachers and staff who work hard to create the most supportive community your child could ever be part of. Students accept the academic challenges put to them because they are provided the tools, resources, and support they need for a life of success. When they leave for college, they are also passionate self-advocates with strong values and beliefs, and some of the finest learners, leaders, and citizens in the country.

The basic philosophy of community behavior at USM is the Common Trust, which is expressed in the following pledge: “We, the members of the University School of Milwaukee community, accept the Common Trust. We agree to relate to one another and the school with respect, trust, honesty, fairness, and kindness.” Every year, the specific Common Trust value being celebrated that year is incorporated into learning and activities for students in all grades throughout the school year.
