LFA enters new 

era of globalism 

This year, Lake Forest 

Academy is proud to welcome 

José De Jesús as the 

Academy’s 30th Head of 

School. De Jesús was born 

in Puerto Rico and migrated 

to New York City 

with his family when he 

was 6 years old. Over the 

past 31 years, he has been 

a student, teacher and administrator 

in independent 

schools. 

He was most recently 

the head of the upper 

school and a history teacher 

at the Packer Collegiate 

Institute in New York City. 

He earned a bachelors 

degree from Wesleyan 

University, a masters degree 

in history from Tufts 

University and a second 

masters degree in private 

school leadership from the 

Klingenstein Leadership 

Program at Teacher’s College, 

Columbia University. 

De Jesús began his official 

duties on July 1. 

LFA’s community will 

also greet over 100 new 

students from Chicago’s 

suburbs, across the United 

States and many different 

countries around the globe 

this fall. No matter where 

they call home, students 

at the Academy are committed 

to excellence, possess 

a curiosity about the 

world, and are excited to 

learn in a diverse school 

community. 

The Academy’s focus 

on globalism stretches 

far beyond the make-up 

of the student body. The 

school places the utmost 

importance on helping its 

students become better 

global citizens. Whether 

in the classroom, on service 

trips, traveling with 

a class, or spending a year 

abroad, LFA students are 

encouraged to widen their 

horizons both figuratively 

and literally. 

In addition to standard 

and individualized coursework, 

LFA students have 

the unique opportunity to 

work with veteran filmmakers. 

Last year, LFA 

was featured in “The 

Global Generation,” a film 

produced by LFA former 

trustee and Hall of Fame 

member Mike Leonard ‘66 

and Executive Producer 

of Leonard Films Mary 

Kay Wall. The film aired 

on Chicago’s WTTW 

channel on Oct. 25, 26 

and 27, 2018. Throughout 

the year, Leonard and 

Wall held academic sessions 

on various aspects of 

filmmaking and provided 

individual evaluation of 

student work. Other students 

participated through 

interviews, musical contributions, 

drone-camera 

operation, and technical 

assistance. A second edition 

of the documentary is 

currently in the works. 

As LFA students develop 

new skills and build on 

their interests, they work 

closely with their college 

counselors at the Academy 

during junior and senior 

year to create college 

lists, attend workshops, 

and work on their college 

applications. LFA’s Class 

of 2019 will matriculate 

to 75 colleges and universities 

in 23 states and 

five countries. Visit www. 

lfanet.org/collegecounseling 

for more details about 

LFA’s college counseling 

program.

Woodlands Academy 

prepares tomorrow’s 

global leaders with 

global education today 

As aptly stated by the 

Brookings Institution, 

“The challenges that face 

the world today — from 

global poverty and climate 

change to financial 

systems and conflict — 

require globally-minded 

solutions. Global competency 

skills are necessary 

so that young people can 

invent a future that appropriately 

addresses global 

challenges.” 

Additionally, research 

shows that students who 

learn about global issues 

are more than twice as 

likely to see the importance 

of personally taking 

social action. Global learning 

encourages awareness 

and critical thinking about 

issues such as poverty, climate 

change, religious and 

cultural differences, world 

trade and politics. 

Graduate of Woodlands 

Academy of the Sacred 

Heart Julie Bateman was 

inspired to help solve 

global challenges because 

of the experiences of 

her Rwandan-born high 

school best friend who 

was forced to flee her native 

country because of the 

country’s cruel past. After 

receiving an engineering 

degree from University of 

Michigan, Bateman spent 

two years at Vayu Inc., 

a company dedicated to 

delivering vital supplies 

anywhere, anytime using 

drone technology. The 

company spends a great 

deal of time working in 

Africa. This is just one 

of the many examples of 

Woodlands alumnae applying 

the global competencies 

they learned to 

make a difference. 

Woodlands graduates 

are uniquely qualified 

to understand and solve 

challenges of global significance 

thanks to the 

school’s long-standing tradition 

of global education 

and commitment to social 

justice. Blending traditional 

classroom learning with 

opportunities for meaningful 

community service 

and global experiences, 

Woodlands Academy educates 

tomorrow’s global 

leaders. The Center for 

Global Studies equips students 

to navigate through 

and flourish in a rapidly 

changing global landscape 

by preparing each student 

with essential global competencies. 

As a part of the worldwide 

network of Sacred 

Heart Schools that spans 

the United States and 40 

other countries, internationality 

is a part of 

the school’s DNA; the 

school’s international exchange 

program dates to 

the 1930s. Founded in 

1858, Woodlands Academy 

is an independent, 

Catholic, college preparatory 

day and boarding high 

school for young women 

of all faiths. The school’s 

identity is rooted in Saint 

Madeleine Sophie Barat’s 

desire to inspire young 

hearts and minds to excel, 

to lead lives of integrity 

and to serve. By empowering 

girls to lead, compete, 

engage, and explore, 

Woodlands Academy empowers 

girls to change the 

world.

Lake Forest Country Day School dedicated to inspired teaching 

Located on more than 

30 acres of property, 

Lake Forest Country Day 

School offers programming 

for students aged 2 

through eighth grade and 

provides a rich and diverse 

educational experience 

grounded in rigorous academics, 

arts, athletics and 

social-emotional learning. 

Drawing students from 

more than 35 local communities, 

students across 

all grade levels have access 

to engaging learning 

spaces that include two 

Outdoor Classrooms, a 

2800-square-foot Innovation 

Center, a newly renovated 

gymnasium and a 

reimagined Performing 

Arts Center that was transformed 

just last year. 

Highlighted by a better 

than 7:1 student/faculty 

ratio, an LFCDS education 

sets the stage for a bright 

future in secondary school 

and beyond, with 20 percent 

of LFCDS graduates 

attending colleges and 

universities ranked in the 

top 20 by U.S. News and 

World Report. 

“Teaching and learning 

are not by rote here,” 

head of school Joy Hurd 

said. “The classrooms, 

technology offerings, laboratories, 

art spaces and 

playing fields all serve as 

vital staging grounds for 

a rich program, designed 

to prepare LFCDS graduates 

to be compassionate, 

independent thinkers with 

a strong sense of personal 

integrity and intellectual 

curiosity.” 

An integral part of the 

LFCDS Experience is the 

strong public speaking 

strand embedded in the 

school’s curriculum beginning 

with the youngest 

students. Learning the 

skills required to be a good 

audience member in first 

STEP builds to extensive 

opportunities to present in 

front of increasingly larger 

groups and culminates 

with the Robbie Bermingham 

Speaking Competition 

in which students in 

grades five through eight 

research, write, revise 

and present a five-minute 

speech on a topic of their 

choice. During the course 

of their time at LFCDS, 

students develop their ability 

to express themselves, 

take risks in a nurturing 

environment, and cultivate 

the self-confidence to present 

to large audiences. 

LFCDS faculty and staff 

live the school’s mission 

with unparalleled dedication. 

Whether for an open 

house, a Special Speaker 

Series lecture or an individual 

campus tour, visitors 

to the School experience 

the palpable warmth and 

caring that is a hallmark of 

the LFCDS Community. In 

short, Lake Forest Country 

Day School fosters an environment 

in which students 

feel empowered to dream, 

try new things, take academic 

risks and achieve at 

their highest level. 

“Research estimates that 

60 percent of the jobs our 

students will fill have yet 

to be created,” Hurd noted. 

“Our ultimate goal at 

LFCDS is to graduate students 

who are able to think 

critically, self-advocate, 

persevere when faced with 

a challenge, create and 

communicate in innovative 

ways and interpret the 

world around them. The 

School endeavors to help 

each student craft a durable 

foundation that will 

provide them with greater 

opportunities to pursue 

their passions and make a 

difference in the world.” 

This year, LFCDS was 

named 22nd Century Media’s 

Best Preschool and 

Best Private K-8 Grade 

School on the North Shore, 

and Better’s Best of 2019 

Preschool. 

“We are deeply honored 

by this recognition,” Hurd. 

“These awards are a direct 

reflection of the partnership 

between our families 

and the faculty in delivering 

the School’s mission 

of inspired teaching, academic 

rigor, attention to 

individual needs, and a 

commitment to responsible 

citizenship.”

Forest Bluff School fosters independence in joyful learning environment 

At Forest Bluff School, 

an internationally renowned 

AMI-accredited 

Montessori school in 

downtown Lake Bluff, 

students between the ages 

of 18 months and 14 years 

experience the joy and satisfaction 

of a self-directed 

learning approach that 

honors their innate curiosity, 

encourages independence 

and respects the 

individuality of each child. 

A Forest Bluff School 

education focuses on the 

child’s skills for discovery 

and exploration through 

hands-on learning opportunities 

at every age. The 

child-centered instructional 

methods allow students 

to take ownership of their 

learning and provide students 

with the skills and 

confidence to take risks, 

challenge themselves, and 

embrace their “failures” as 

learning opportunities. 

Forest Bluff School students 

begin developing 

their independence in the 

youngest of classrooms, 

where they are given the 

opportunity to choose their 

own work, ranging from 

practical life skills such as 

preparing food and setting 

a table for a communal 

meal to painting, sewing 

and arranging flowers. As 

they progress through the 

years, students take on 

greater responsibilities, 

such as creating daily and 

weekly work plans, coordinating 

small-group field 

trips to supplement their 

classroom research and 

participating in service 

learning trips that require 

detailed planning and 

preparation, all of which 

the Secondary Level 

(ages 12-14) students do 

themselves. By allowing 

children the freedom of 

choice in their learning at 

every age, a Montessori 

education allows children 

to be the primary agents 

in developing their own 

intellect and character, 

an experience that is both 

profound and joyful for 

Forest Bluff students. 

As a true Montessori 

school, we support the 

development of the whole 

child. Students at Forest 

Bluff School not only exhibit 

academic excellence, 

but also the many qualities 

that constitute positive 

character development: 

empathy, integrity, grit, 

resilience, responsibility, 

initiative, self-discipline, 

self-reflection and respect 

for themselves, others and 

the environment. 

Graduates of Forest 

Bluff School achieve excellent 

records at public 

and private high schools, 

large and small, local and 

national. Recent graduates 

have gone on to attend 

Lake Forest High School, 

Lake Forest Academy, 

Woodlands Academy, St. 

Paul’s School and Phillips 

Exeter Academy, among 

others. 

Every member of the 

Forest Bluff School faculty 

holds a Masters degree 

and is AMI Montessori 

certified. Our experienced 

and dedicated teachers 

work closely with one 

another, sharing their wisdom 

and best practices for 

supporting all students in 

their quest for knowledge, 

understanding, and genuine 

human connections. 

Forest Bluff School recognizes 

the importance of 

building strong relationships 

with the families it 

serves. As such, we maintain 

close communications 

with parents on an ongoing 

basis through our Parent 

Education programs that 

include book discussions, 

Parent & Baby classes (for 

children under 18 months), 

guest lecturers and more. 

Adults and children alike 

benefit from the supportive 

and welcoming parent 

community at Forest Bluff 

School. For more information

Countryside Day School continues to fill niche in community 

Countryside Day School, a 

renowned institution in Northbrook 

for more than 50 years, 

continues to fill a niche in the 

educational market by providing 

students 16 months through 

eighth grade with an unique 

learning experience that emphasizes 

not only rigorous academic 

studies but also the development 

of critical character skills 

essential for success not just in 

school, but more importantly in 

life. Countryside is committed 

to working in partnership with 

parents to help young people become 

more than great students 

but also exceptional adults. 

Faculty at Countryside understands 

education in a broader 

and deeper context than conventional 

schools. Teachers 

see school as an internship to 

adulthood in which students develop 

a strong sense of agency 

and empathy. Countryside students 

feel a deep responsibility 

to make a contribution. This is 

accomplished in classes that 

are “micro-societies” designed 

to emulate real life, with mixed 

ages, the expectation to take 

initiative, permission to follow 

interests which develops deep 

concentration and an intrinsic 

love of learning and room to 

learn that failing is necessary 

in order to accomplish great 

things. 

This great work is also accomplished 

with uniquely strong 

one-to-one student-teacher relationships 

where teachers do 

more than offer academic content 

but also serve as mentors to 

their students. Teachers’ knowledge 

of each individual student 

is one of the most treasured aspects 

of the Countryside experience 

by both students and parents 

alike. It is also what makes 

the role of teaching so inspiring 

that Countryside Day enjoys 

very little teacher turnover. 

The final piece of the Countryside 

success strategy is a 

close working relationship with 

parents in which faculty share 

observations of their students, 

seek information from parents 

about what they see at home, 

and make recommendations regarding 

parenting based on the 

expert, collective experience of 

master teachers. The CDS faculty 

is keenly aware of the changes 

in culture that are impacting 

children and families and how 

these changes are affecting the 

development of young people. 

The mission of Countryside 

Day School is to provide an 

education that assists students 

in developing the qualities of 

respect, responsibility and resourcefulness 

so they become 

great students and exceptional 

adults. 

Countryside’s website, countrysideday.org, 

is a great place 

to start your research, but families 

say, without exception, that 

it is a visit to the classrooms 

themselves that reveal the unparalleled 

and awe-inspiring 

educational experience. Parents 

are encouraged to schedule a 

personalized tour anytime.

Montessori School of Lake Forest sees unique potential in each student 

Montessori philosophy 

sees each child as a unique 

individual, with magnificent 

potential that is all 

their own. It emphasizes 

learning through handson 

experience, utilizing 

all five senses, not just listening, 

watching, or reading. 

Children learn at their 

own pace and according 

to their own choice of activities 

from hundreds of 

possibilities. Learning is 

an exciting process of discovery, 

leading to concentration, 

motivation, selfdiscipline 

and a life-long 

love of learning. 

During the first three 

years of life, the brain absorbs 

and processes more 

information than at any 

other time in life. Children 

are born learners, but 

need the right environment 

to grow, learn and 

unlock their full potential. 

The Montessori School of 

Lake Forest offers a weekly 

Parent — Infant program, 

which provides just 

such a place to begin. This 

is an educational resource 

for parents and children 

as they begin to explore 

the larger world, with the 

support of a Montessori 

trained Director. 

As children start to interact 

with their peers and 

develop their language 

and movement skills, they 

are preparing for the learning 

opportunities of the 

MSLF Toddler Program. 

This program maximizes 

the development of young 

children through meticulously 

prepared environments. 

The Montessori 

trained Toddler Directors 

conduct carefully planned 

activities which lead the 

Toddler age child to build 

sensory-motor skills, high 

self-esteem, inner security, 

and abiding habits of 

concentration. 

Starting at age 3, Montessori 

classrooms group 

children across three-year 

age spans. Each child 

moves through periods 

of being the observer, the 

participant and the teacher. 

Older children help 

younger children learn, 

which reinforces their 

own knowledge. Younger 

children admire their older 

classmates and eagerly 

anticipate the day when 

they too will have enough 

knowledge to act as role 

models. MSLF provides 

the caring, supportive 

and prepared atmosphere 

that promotes the development 

of responsibility, 

collaboration, and cooperation. 

Continuing the multiage 

classroom into the elementary 

years, students 

now strive for intellectual 

independence. While following 

their interests and 

passions, they naturally 

collaborate with others, 

and self-direct their efforts 

creating an atmosphere of 

intellectual rigor, experimentation 

and challenge. 

By the time these MSLF 

students complete the elementary 

cycles, they are 

well prepared to meet the 

challenges ahead of them 

in middle-school and succeed, 

academically, socially 

and emotionally. 

MSLF’s approach emphasizes 

the development 

of the whole child and 

encourages academic and 

character development 

equally. Curricula at each 

developmental level are 

broad and deep. Our standards 

exceed the Illinois 

State Board of Education’s 

requirements, and 

students thrive at every 

level. MSLF alumni go 

on to succeed at renowned 

high schools, universities, 

post-graduate institutions 

and workplaces. 

Our programs include 

Parent-Infant, ages 0 to 

15 months with caregiver, 

complimentary; Toddler, 

15 months to 3 years; Primary, 

3 to 6 years; Lower 

Elementary, 6 to 9 years; 

Upper Elementary, 9 to 12 

years. Full Day and Full 

Year Options are available 

Monday through Friday 

7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

The Montessori School 

of Lake Forest (MSLF) is 

currently enrolling in all 

programs, with immediate 

openings in our new Toddler 

classroom, for children 

ages 15 months to 3 

years, and children ages 

3 to 6 in our Primary program.

Mathnasium makes math fun again 

Students are settling into 

the new school year and 

learning new math concepts 

nearly every week. 

Math topics introduced in 

class today build on concepts 

taught prior years. 

Sometimes students have 

knowledge gaps from previous 

years. These gaps 

can prevent kids from 

keeping up with the class 

— and cause them to fall 

behind. Other times, students 

may lose interest in 

math because they don’t 

feel challenged. They are 

finishing work early and 

acing their tests and quizzes. 

Either way, Mathnasium 

is the place for you. 

Is Your Student Behind? 

“Children don’t hate 

math. What they hate is 

being confused, intimidated, 

and embarrassed by 

math.” 

Every day children 

struggle in math — not for 

lack of natural potential, 

but because they haven’t 

yet developed the right 

way of thinking about 

math. 

At Mathnasium, we believe 

that every child has 

the ability to be successful 

in math. It’s just a matter 

of teaching math the way 

that makes sense to them. 

We’ll work with your child 

so they understand math 

and get on the path to improvement. 

Our Approach 

Our approach, the Mathnasium 

Method, pinpoints 

exactly what makes math 

difficult for each child in 

grades 2–12. Every day, 

struggling students attend 

Mathnasium to work 

with our specially trained 

instructors who are great 

with math and great with 

kids. We’ll lend a helping 

hand to every struggling 

student in an individual 

setting—our unique approach 

enables us to effectively 

explain concepts 

and teach a personalized 

learning plan that addresses 

each child’s specific 

needs. With regular 

attendance at Mathnasium, 

we’ll teach your child how 

to think the way natural 

mathematical thinkers do 

and open doors. 

Is Your Student Ahead? 

“With understanding 

comes passion, and with 

passion comes growth—a 

treasure is unlocked.” 

At Mathnasium we love 

math — using it, talking 

about it and especially 

teaching it. We think math 

is exciting, fun and interesting. 

Every day, students who 

excel at math and are eager 

for greater challenges attend 

Mathnasium for math 

enrichment to broaden 

their math knowledge and 

learn from our experienced 

math tutors. 

Our Approach 

Our programs are designed 

to give kids more 

than they get at school. 

Our specially trained instructors 

are exceptional 

at math and love working 

with kids — they make 

all the difference. Our 

educational materials and 

teaching techniques are 

designed to challenge students 

in grades 2–12 beyond 

what they’re learning 

in school and broaden their 

horizons in math. In our 

centers, we nurture and 

grow your child’s natural 

enthusiasm for math by 

broadening skills and challenging 

students to think 

the way that natural mathematical 

thinkers do. 

How can Mathnasium help 

you? 

The experts at Mathnasium 

can help by conducting 

a thorough assessment to 

learn more about your student’s 

math strengths and 

weaknesses. The next step 

is developing a customized 

plan to get your child 

back on track or start to 

get ahead and celebrating 

math successes throughout 

the school year! To learn 

how Mathnasium can help, 

call your local learning 

center today.

St. Norbert School prepares 

students for lifelong success 

For over 100 years, St. 

Norbert School has enriched 

the lives of students from 

Pre-K-8th grade through its 

challenging curriculum designed 

to prepare students 

for a life of success. This 

curriculum, when combined 

with our unique culture of 

care, inclusivity and community 

grounded in values 

and faith, facilitates the 

development of the whole 

child that is ready to thrive 

in the 21st century. 

At St. Norbert School, 

we are committed to equipping 

students with the skills 

needed for success in a rapidly 

changing world. This 

means students learn how to 

learn. They learn to navigate 

knowledge, think critically 

and develop a viewpoint 

all while exhibiting respect, 

integrity and excellence — 

three of our four core values. 

This ensures our students 

are prepared to enter 

the unknown and thrive in 

whatever they choose to do. 

More importantly, a highquality 

education such as 

st. mary 

From Page 8 

students participate in programs 

and projects that 

foster heightened awareness 

of the needs of others 

throughout the world. This 

offers students the experience 

of both giving and receiving 

from those served. 

Our Catholic-based 

education provides graduates 

with the foundation 

to compete in challenging 

academic environments. 

Many of our students are 

recognized in their respective 

high schools as 

valedictorians, student 

council and class officers, 

club leaders, exceptional 

service providers, athletes 

that found at St. Norbert 

School ensures all our students 

develop not only 

academically but also spiritually 

by instilling the sustaining 

values that ensure 

our kids do what is right 

when no one is watching. 

Instilling these lessons at 

a young age ensures the 

next generation of leaders 

have the moral foundation 

needed to lead our world in 

the years to come. This is 

what drives our foundation 

of faith where students learn 

compassion for others and 

a shared sense of service. 

Service to our world and to 

God — our fourth core value 

and the foundation with 

which we live. 

Just as it is important to 

develop the mind and spirit, 

our holistic approach to 

learning ensures students 

have the opportunity to participate 

in an array of athletics. 

Students can choose 

from nine different sports 

and our no-cut policy ensures 

every child gets the 

chance to do so because 

it’s in these opportunities 

that kids learn invaluable 

skills of teamwork, sportsmanship 

and discipline. 

Whether it is cheerleading, 

basketball, track and field 

or football, there is an array 

of athletic opportunities for 

kids to try. 

Students at St. Norbert 

School are inspired 

to become confident, independent, 

lifelong learners 

skilled with the critical 

thinking, collaboration, resilience 

and responsibility 

needed to reach their full 

potential in school and in 

life. 

St. Norbert School creates 

the path for success, but 

it’s our students that reach 

for it and achieve it during 

their time with us and beyond.

Regina Dominican, where North Shore 

enrollment continues to grow rapidly 

“This fall, Regina Dominican High 

School is looking at a 51 percent increase 

in freshmen enrollment, with the 

most significant numbers coming from 

the North Shore,” president Elizabeth 

Schuster remarked. “Never has the value 

of single-gender education been more 

important to parents and students than it 

is today. At open houses, we outline the 

science. There have been significant studies 

on the impact of the all-girl environment 

during this important developmental 

stage — and it shows when these young 

women enter college and the workforce.” 

Admittedly, the school’s best marketing 

comes from its graduates. On average, 91 

percent of Regina Dominican graduates 

are accepted to their university of first 

choice and 46 percent of the 2019 graduates 

choose majors in the STEM fields. 

“Keep in mind, most of these students 

did not walk in the door focused on the 

sciences, but given the opportunities we 

offered they developed the interest and 

confidence to pursue these passions,” 

Schuster noted. 

Known for launching leaders, the 

school’s Leadership Institute has grown 

to offer opportunities to all students at every 

level, from freshmen to seniors. Students 

learn to use their strengths to listen, 

inspire and empower others to be the best 

they can be and make a difference in the 

world. 

“We find involvement in the Regina 

Dominican Leadership Institute is a key 

differentiating factor during the college 

application process,” Schuster said. “Universities 

are taking note of this program, 

the impact it is having on a young woman’s 

college choices is evident. Not many 

students walk away from high school 

with a veritable leadership portfolio, but 

at Regina Dominican they have that opportunity.” 

Regina Dominican’s campus is also 

growing. 

“We are embarking on a campus redevelopment 

plan to ensure the physical 

school reflects the innovation seen in our 

classrooms,” Schuster explained. 

To do this, they are working with alumna, 

architect Carol Ross Barney, most recently 

lauded for her work on Chicago’s 

Riverwalk. 

On the athletic front, the school is more 

vibrant than ever with the recent launch of 

home fields for soccer, lacrosse and softball, 

plus a new athletic director who is 

focused on raising the school’s competitive 

profile.

Missouri Military Academy teaches young men 

roots of how to take control of their lives 

Since 1889, thousands of parents 

have looked to Missouri 

Military Academy (MMA) to 

give their boys the structure, responsibility 

and love they need 

to grow, compete and thrive — 

and ultimately become young 

men who are in full command of 

their lives. 

Students come from across 

the United States and around 

the world to attend MMA. Focused 

on the education of boys 

in grades seven through 12 and 

post-grad year, the Academy is 

a college-preparatory boarding 

school with a military tradition. 

MMA’s comprehensive 360° 

Education empowers boys and 

young men to unlock their full 

potential. Through MMA, families 

give their boys gifts of courage, 

strength, heart and pride — 

an edge to triumph in college and 

in life. 

“We have known what potential 

he has and he is now seeing 

for himself,” MMA parents Bob 

and Jennifer Wever said. “MMA 

has been the best decision we 

have ever made for our son.” 

MMA understands and embraces 

how boys learn and what 

inspires and challenges them. 

Through MMA’s tight-knit environment, 

supported by peers, 

teachers, and mentors, boys learn 

personal accountability, perseverance, 

and self-discipline. 

“MMA has given my son the 

ability to think about his choices 

and to take responsibility for 

them. He has learned that he is 

in charge of his freedom, privileges, 

and future,” MMA mom 

Dr. Victoria Thompson said. 

“He said to me, ‘I know I don’t 

tell you enough, but I am very 

grateful for the opportunity you 

have given me to be able to go 

to MMA.’” 

Known for their sense of character 

and strong leadership traits, 

MMA graduates consistently 

achieve 100 percent college acceptance 

and earn an impressive 

number of scholarships. The 

Class of 2018 earned more than 

$6.5 million in college scholarships, 

and recent graduates have 

been accepted to Loyola Marymount 

University, Case Western 

Reserve, Savannah College of 

Art and Design, the Citadel, the 

U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, 

University of Washington, and 

more. 

MMA’s unique Triumph Program 

gives students an early 

start on college. Qualifying students 

can finish high school with 

one year of college -- or even 

earn their associate degree. Supported 

by MMA’s structured environment, 

students take classes 

with William Woods University 

faculty on MMA’s campus. Parents 

and students benefit from a 

map to college graduation, starting 

as early as middle school, to 

help understand their college investment 

and academic plan.

North Shore Country Day 

focuses on what matters 

In 1919, North Shore Country Day 

(NSCD) was the visionary answer to 

a fundamental question: What matters 

most when educating a child? Since then, 

NSCD has continually refined its answer 

to propel the school’s educational model 

forward with purpose and passion, building 

a transformative JK-12 community on 

four essential pillars: 

Purposeful Challenge — Truly knowing 

each student allows faculty to challenge 

and support them as people and 

learners. 

Intentional Design — NSCD carefully 

crafts its entire JK-12 program to optimize 

learning, develop skills and prioritize 

wellness. 

Courageous Exploration — The school 

pushes students to participate widely and 

take risks regularly, ensuring they stretch, 

explore stumble and grow. 

Conscientious Community — The diverse 

community and collaborative culture 

help students understand themselves 

and their obligations to each other, their 

communities and their world. 

North Shore Country Day is a place 

where school is engaging, interesting, rigorous 

and fun. Teachers know each student 

and set the bar high in order to build 

confident, independent thinkers. Students 

balance passions with responsibilities and 

learning becomes a way of life. 

Early Childhood 

Every moment in NSCD’s junior and 

senior kindergarten program is an opportunity 

for joyful learning. These youngest 

students are known and loved, they’re 

empowered and encouraged. Asking 

questions, making choices, listening, participating 

in discussions, sharing, reading 

books, creating art, making music, speaking 

Spanish and moving about. 

Lower School 

NSCD believes that learning is engaging 

when it’s meaningful, awakening the 

senses and opening the mind. Students 

develop a solid academic foundation, 

venture into local communities and are 

encouraged to think globally — not only 

growing in knowledge but in character. 

Students learn to speak up and become 

self-advocates. The goal is to see each 

child thrive by helping them develop the 

self-confidence needed to truly blossom 

in a challenging program. 

Middle School 

NSCD Middle School faculty sees the 

world through students’ eyes, and not only 

understand but truly enjoy adolescents. 

They also set high standards and demand 

academic accountability. The school welcomes 

spontaneous ideas that enhance 

learning: An experiment becomes a Science 

Olympiad project, a debate evolves 

into a Model United Nations presentation 

and a service-learning exercise builds 

awareness to enlighten others. 

Upper School 

The North Shore Country Day Upper 

School is vibrant, challenging, engaging 

and intentionally designed for learning. 

The long-block schedule is just one example. 

With four 75-minutes classes per 

day, students have time to practice and develop 

skills, and understand and analyze 

material on a deeper level. It also provides 

teachers flexibility to design a range of 

learning experiences. The goal is to support 

meaningful academic engagement, 

inquiry-based and experiential learning 

and a more balanced and healthy school 

experience. 

Outcomes 

The true outcome of a North Shore 

Country Day education is seen in graduates 

who advance into college and the 

world fully prepared for whatever comes 

next. They are exceptionally equipped 

with the skills and the mindsets to make 

an impact on their world after years spent 

exploring, collaborating and embracing 

the school’s motto, “Live and Serve.”

Leadership lives at St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy 

Beyond the gates of St. John’s 

Northwestern Military Academy 

lies a historic institution that has 

prepared teens for college and a 

lifetime of opportunity for 135 

years. 

“We attract a diverse group 

of young boys and girls capable 

of significant achievement, and 

looking for guidance on how to 

maximize their potential,” said 

Tom Stocks, president of St. 

John’s Northwestern and a 1969 

alumnus. 

St. John’s Northwestern (SJN- 

MA) opened in 1884 as a private, 

college preparatory and leadership 

development school. In 

1995, it merged with Northwestern 

Military and Naval Academy 

of Lake Geneva to become St. 

John’s Northwestern. Nestled in 

the center of beautiful Delafield, 

Wisc., SJNMA is principally a 

boarding school for boys and 

girls, grades 7-12; while also offering 

an active day student program 

to the local community. 

SJNMA follows a long-established 

military format for 

the benefit of structure, and the 

advancement of honor, dignity 

and respect. Hundreds of 

its graduates have been admitted 

to the Five Military Service 

Academies, and the overwhelming 

majority advance to notable 

colleges and universities. 

Prominent alumni include Curtis 

“Buzz” Roosevelt, the actor 

Spencer Tracy and Martin Torrijos 

Espino, former president of 

the Republic of Panama. 

The academic curriculum at 

St. John’s Northwestern features 

a student-instructor ratio that 

allows for personal support by 

highly dedicated faculty. 

“Individual attention and 

classroom interaction optimize 

mastery of the subject matter, 

and the learning process itself,” 

said Dr. Eric Wozniak, SJNMA’s 

Headmaster. 

In addition, cadets learn outside 

the classroom through field 

trips, excursions, community 

service and study abroad. Diploma 

options include STEM Honors, 

Humanities Honors, as well 

as technical diplomas and paths 

to earn dual college credit. St. 

John’s Northwestern also offers 

courses in English as a Second 

Language, music, art, engineering, 

technology and aviation. 

St. John’s Northwestern places 

a high value on faith formation 

as a foundation for solid character 

development. Cadets are 

taught the importance of service 

before self through a variety of 

community service activities. 

The stunning Noble Victory 

Chapel — St. John the Divine, 

was constructed by highly-dedicated 

returning cadets serving 

in World War I. The chapel is 

part of the Episcopal Diocese of 

Milwaukee and is celebrating its 

100th anniversary. 

A commitment to athletics and 

wellness is yet another important 

pillar of SJNMA’s program. 

“Through varsity-level competition 

or intramural sports or activities, 

athletic competition instills 

valuable life lessons such as 

teamwork, dedication, and good 

sportsmanship” said Mike Fink, 

SJNMA’s Athletic Director. 

A variety of sports are offered, 

including football, basketball, 

baseball, cross country, wrestling, 

swimming, golf, tennis and 

lacrosse. 

The Academy’s 110-acre campus 

is a sight to behold. The 

beautiful terrain is accented by 

historic early-20th Century architecture 

and features a ninehole 

golf course, impressive outdoor 

athletic complex, obstacle 

course, tennis courts and indoor 

swimming pool. 

St. John’s Northwestern is 

rated a top Christian boarding

“Iencouragemystudents to solveartistic problems creatively and to strivefor a 

unique perspective. LFCDS students areeager to see what theycan create and 

recognizethat theycan reach beyond their expectations of themselves as artists. 

Iteach at LFCDS because authenticity and academic rigor arehonored and 

encouraged in the teachers, in the curriculum we develop, and in our students. 

This combination of individualism and high expectations provides the foundation 

for an incredible education.”
