The school was originally established at 45th and Scott Streets in West Milwaukee, in the former St. Florian Parish School building. It is under the direction of the Society of Jesus in the Catholic church and is open to students of all faiths. It serves students from families of limited means.[1]
In November 2017 the school indicated it would be moving to a much larger and more conveniently located facility at 1818 W. National Ave.[2][3]
