LOWER SCHOOL
CAMPUS LIFE “As I read my daughter’s letters describing new friends from all over the world and the program itself, I felt that she had found the ideal place that both nurtured and challenged her at the same time. As a parent, there is nothing more rewarding than to find such an environment for your child.” —Jennifer Achuck LSI parent Fox Point, Wisconsin 32
Lower School Institute students are housed in gender-specific dorms separate from Upper School students. (Day students, see page 23.) A close community of nurturing adults—many of whom are teachers—guarantees students’ safety at all times. LSI dorm life is organized so that students have the opportunity to finish their schoolwork and get the necessary amount of rest, but with enough time for fun, too! Every student is provided with bed linens, a pillow, a blanket, and towels; desk fans are recommended. Each room also has a phone for local calls, as well as wireless Internet access. Most dorms are equipped with coin-operated washers and dryers; laundry service is available for an additional charge. The on-campus Isham Health Center is fully staffed with registered nurses on site 24 hours a day; in addition, a doctor and mental health counselor are on call at all times. LSI students enjoy special Tuesday and Saturday night activities. Tuesdays bring required off‑campus outings—to see the latest movie or play laser tag, for example—while Saturdays are on campus and optional—a dance or a barbecue. All students eat their meals in Paresky Commons, a centrally located dining hall with multiple dining areas offering fresh, delicious, and healthy food choices—and yummy brownie sundaes, too!
