Childcare
6 weeks- 36 months
The Bishop Baraga infant nursery and toddler classroom provide a nurturing and serene Catholic environment. Here, children can explore safely while being nurtured by attentive caregivers. The setting features age-appropriate furniture and materials that prioritize safety without restricting movement. Specifically designed furniture encourages independence, such as soft crawling obstacles, mirrors for self-awareness, individual cribs for sleeping, and a wealth of stimulating materials to pique your child's interest and curiosity.

Preschool 3s - 5s
Bishop Baraga Academy's philosophy transcends the confines of the classroom, extending its influence into homes, families, communities, and beyond. We will impact your child's lifelong journey. In our caring Catholic environment, we emphasize holistic development.
​Enrolling your child in our multi-age preschool program nurtures academic curiosity, instills responsibility, cultivates moral integrity, and fosters social-emotional intelligence, enabling them to build joyful and productive connections with others.

Homeschool Group
At Bishop Baraga Academy, we embrace the idea that parents are the primary educators and support homeschooling through engaging, hands-on activities. Our program emphasizes social justice, recycling, composting, and creative arts, encouraging students to explore cause and effect in a collaborative environment.
We offer K-5 programming on Thursday mornings from 8:30 to 11:30, or you may enroll in our Academy through partial enrollment. If you have a middle school student interested in joining a group, please contact us.

Kinder Prep (4s-6s)
As parents, you understand your child's needs best. If you feel your child could benefit from another year before Kindergarten, Bishop Baraga Academy offers Montessori-style classes. Our intentional approach fosters order, concentration, and independence, nurturing self-regulation (the ability to educate oneself )and stimulating curiosity. Students develop confidence, enthusiasm, and self-direction in our Catholic-forward, deliberate classroom environments. They learn to think critically, collaborate effectively, and act boldly, laying a solid foundation for future success. Our Montessori environments are the perfect way to allow your child to grow academically without repeating content they have already mastered.

Before & After School Care - Busing Available!
Fremont Public Schools and NCRESA generously provide transportation for your child, picking them up around 7:15 am and dropping them off at our Academy door around 3:15 pm.
This arrangement gives your child the chance to immerse themselves in our Montessori environment, where they can explore nature, the arts, or join our running club. Unlike traditional programs, we emphasize allowing students to unwind and pursue their personal interests within our supportive framework, rather than focusing on playground time and homework.
​
*Tutor opportunities are also available.

Microschool Lower Elementary
At Bishop Baraga Academy, our teachers and school environment model ways to live out our Catholic faith. Catholicism is in everything we do, not just in a religion class. We honor diverse learning styles and support individualized learning paths. Our multi-age classrooms foster a familial atmosphere where older students mentor and younger ones gain confidence. Teachers exemplify respect, kindness, and conflict resolution. Students actively participate in shaping their learning focus within established guidelines. Our Montessori methods are research-driven and proven to provide your child with far more than academic skills to take with them.
