The Lynden Sculpture Garden works with artists, educators, students, and our community to create, support, and share experiences at the intersection of art, nature, and culture.
Lynden operates as a laboratory, offering hands-on programs that integrate our collection of more than 50 monumental sculptures and temporary installations, and our community of artists, with the natural ecology of 40 acres of park, pond, and woodland.

Milwaukee French Immersion School (MFIS) is one of the top schools in MPS — and the only school in the city to offer immersion in French. Students enter the immersion program in K4/K5 or Grade 1, and all instruction is in French. English reading and writing begins in Grade 2. Most other subjects are taught in French through Grade 5. Students become fluent in French with many continuing language immersion at Milwaukee School of Languages (Gr. 6–12).
