Message from Nathan
“I am happy you have shown interest in Wisconsin Lutheran High School! This is a place where international and domestic students have great opportunities to grow academically, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If you or your child decide to attend WLHS, I think you will be very pleased with your decision. At WLHS, I have the privilege of operating our student mentor program where new international students are paired with American students. This is one way we assist international students in making WLHS their home. This is also a great way to make cross-cultural friendships that last a lifetime. Additionally, WLHS offers a variety of resources to help its students reach their goals, such as attending a premier university in the USA, making more friends, or exploring their personal interests.
I also have the privilege of traveling to some of the countries our students come from to have in-person parent meetings. During these meetings, we get to discuss your child’s progress and development at WLHS. Additionally, I have opportunity to share our school with potential new students and parents while overseas. It is always beneficial and enjoyable to experience our international students’ cultures!”
