Conserve School is a conservation-based semester school for high school students located in the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin. We have 1200 acres of our own forested land, and our campus abuts many more thousands of acres of wilderness. Students who have a strong interest in the environment and in outdoor activities come to Conserve School for a special semester-long experience away from their regular high school. They keep up with all of their academic studies while enjoying classes focused around the theme of environmental stewardship along with wilderness trips and frequent, varied outdoor activities. Conserve School, founded by the philanthropist James R. Lowenstine, provides all students with full-tuition Lowenstine Honors Scholarships. Admissions is competitive. Students accepted to Conserve School are accomplished and hard-working, with an interest in environmental stewardship and outdoor activities and strong records in academics, leadership skills, and extracurriculars.
The current header photo was taken by Assistant Head of School Mary Anna Thornton, during the second night of students’ on-campus solo experience. For their first solo night, students camp out in individual campsites dotted throughout Lowenwood, Conserve’s 1200 acre, forested campus. On the second night of their solo experience, students join together in small groups to enjoy a meal together. Mary Anna took this photograph on the shore of Big Donahue Lake after dinner.
Head of School Stefan Anderson, Assistant Head of School Mary Anna Thornton, and Conserve School/University of Wisconsin Graduate Fellows Heather Lumpkin and Laura Schoephoester are all frequent contributors to the blog.
