Living your best life shouldn’t be a special need.

Matthias is a nonprofit community of adults living their best lives together in southeastern Wisconsin. Matthias serves adults with mild to severe disabilities, specialized medical needs, behavioral challenges, and mild to profound autism.

Our mission:
Endless opportunities for extraordinary adults.

Trying new things.
Discovering independence.
Being loved for who you are.

The name “Matthias” means Gift from God, which is exactly what our extraordinary adults are. Matthias Academy lessons are offered in several different areas of learning, all tailored to individual student needs and learning levels. Students have the opportunity to showcase their skills and creations in our Gift and Garden Center.
