Conserve School

Conserve School was founded in 2002 to fulfill James R. Lowenstine's dream of creating a school at which children could be offered a comprehensive college preparatory education with a special emphasis on nature studies. Jim Lowenstine envisioned a school where the curriculum, campus, and community combine to uniquely prepare and incline students toward valuing our natural world. It was his hope that for some students this would lead to ultimate employment in areas related to the preservation of our lakes, forests, and streams for public recreation without spoliation, and in the general science of the conservation of natural resources.

Conserve School is an interdisciplinary, college preparatory boarding school for academically talented students in grades 9 through 12, with a focus on the environment, ethics, and innovation. At Conserve School students combine traditional subject areas with the unique areas of environmental science, technology, and outdoor recreation. The program prepares all graduates to be ethical and environmentally sensitive leaders and stewards within any career choice.
