Our school, staff and students are continuously enriched by their ongoing gifts of time, services and resources, creativity, and collaboration.

Rockwell Automation

Escuela Vieau’s primary partner, Rockwell Automation, sponsors our Project Lead The Way laboratory and other literacy, science, technology, engineering, and environmental experiences. From Rockwell engineers who mentor our students to company service days that bring Rockwell staff to Escuela Vieau for school beautification efforts, cultural celebrations, and more, this Fortune 500 company is a super partner. Rockwell’s continued support of Escuela Vieau’s STEM programs and priorities enriches the academic experience for every student here.

Arts @ Large

In addition to supporting our arts programming, Escuela Vieau students also spend time at Paliafito Eco-Arts Park, enjoying the grounds and tending the gardens through our partnership with Arts @ Large.

FIRST LEGO League

FIRST LEGO League introduces science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts to children through exciting hands-on learning. Participants gain real-world problem-solving skills in a guided robotics program that encourages students to explore, experiment, and grow their critical thinking, coding, and design skills.

Marquette University

Students from Marquette University provide one-on-one tutoring to Vieau students. Through this program, Vieau students gain self-confidence and develop strong bonds with their tutors, leading to success in the classroom.

Reflo

Annually, Reflo works with partners including Milwaukee Public Schools, the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, the City of Milwaukee, the Fund for Lake Michigan, Community Design Solutions and others to support Milwaukee-area schools in an intensive, collaborative process to design and then redevelop greener, healthier schoolyards. Escuela Vieau’s redeveloped schoolyard opened in 2018.

Each redevelopment project is tailored to the specific needs and enthusiasm of the school’s community but often involves replacing seas of asphalt with green infrastructure including bioswales, rain gardens, and trees as well as outdoor classrooms, improved recreational facilities and arts opportunities. Designs go beyond removing pavement to maximize benefits for communities, the environment, and local economy.

Wisconsin GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness & Readiness for Undergraduate Programs)
