St Croix fosters a caring, Christian environment in which the teachers help students grow to their full potential, regardless of where they are at in their academic journey. Many opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities, and the diversity of students from multiple countries makes for a rich experience. You will feel the positivity and energy as soon as you walk in the building.

I have attended St. Croix since eighth grade and am currently a senior. In my experience, the teachers and staff have been kind to me and I have enjoyed my time learning from them. No high school is perfect, so there are issues that arise here and there, but overall I am glad my parents chose this school.

Personally, I have had a wonderful experience at St. Croix Lutheran Academy. Most of my teachers were very willing to help, happy to teach, and wanted to see me succeed in their class. If I ever needed to talk to someone about an event happening in my life, they were more than willing to listen.
