We are an independent K-12 Classical, Christian, Cottage School.

We take our name from Vibia Perpetua, a young North African woman who stood fast in her faith and endured martyrdom in 202 AD.

Vibia Perpetua is a model of what we want our students to look like. She was noble, virtuous, and well-educated—she is the first Christian to give us a record of her thoughts and experiences leading up to martyrdom. She lived a good life and had a family that loved her, but sacrificed it all to be a faithful witness to Christ.

Our hope is that students at Perpetua Cottage Academy will be people of faith, virtue, and learning like her.

  • Classical

    Our students read Great Books that spur growth in virtue.

  • Christian

    We are an inter-denominational school committed to passing on our rich and deep Christian heritage.

  • Cottage

    While most schools conform students to the curriculum, we customize the curriculum to each student. We integrate learning into life in a number of ways and combine in-school instruction on Mondays-Thursdays with parent supervised course work on Fridays.

Located on Madison’s eastside, we are accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year.
