History
Established in 2003, with classrooms at a facility of Cardinal Stritch University in Madison, by 2004 the school had 14 students. That year the Madison Plan Commission granted a conditional use permit to St. Thomas Aquinas parish at 602 Everglade Drive for up to 60 students. The school continues to operate in the religious education wing of St. Thomas Aquinas parish.
In 2006 and 2007 students attended the March for Life in Washington, D.C. Scott Schmiesing, former principal of St. Francis Xavier School in Cross Plains became principal of St. Ambrose Academy in July, 2008. In 2009 the school was accredited by NAPC*IS, the National Association of Private Catholic* and Independent Schools. In 2010 the City of Madison Plan Commission approved enrollment of up to 140 at the school's St. Thomas Aquinas Parish quarters.
Curriculum
The six core subjects are English, history, Latin, math, religion, and science. Topical studies that follow a historical progression are taught in a four-year cycle for the senior high and a three-year cycle for the junior high. Each cycle's historical topic is integrated in history, English, and religion, with the other courses reinforcing these studies where possible, yielding a "unified and interdisciplinary approach to each historical period." High school students are required to take two years of Latin.
Religion instruction focuses on "the analysis and understanding of the Scriptures and significant Church documents (such as papal encyclicals and the Catechism)."
