Independent Catholic schools

Mike's posts here and here referred to one of the local Catholic schools not affiliated with a parish or a religious order. A reader provided this background, in the context of the Archdiocese's relationship with these schools.
Mercy Academy is 10 years old, founded by parents and initially led by Robin and Susan Mitchell, both ex-Brookfield Academy educators. Within a few years, the Mitchells left and founded Trinity Academy (presently located on the grounds of the old Parish in Duplainville/Pewaukee.)

A few years later, another group of parents left Mercy and began Veritas Academy, operating in the parish grade-school of Sacred Heart (Croatian) on 49th/Wells.

The Archbishop has visited Trinity. He has never visited Mercy. He may or may not have visited Veritas...for some reason I suspect he did.

  1. From what I've been told, he unofficially dropped in on Veritas while officially visiting Sacred Heart.
