Many visitors to Nashotah House comment that a sense of holiness, peace, and warm community characterizes the campus. Graduates describe Nashotah House as having "a spirituality all its own." Although we are only 35 minutes from downtown Milwaukee and in the heart of Southeastern Wisconsin's most desirable living areas, our 365 acre campus and the surrounding lakes and woodlands provide a tranquil environment for prayer, study, and spiritual formation.

At Nashotah House, all aspects of our community life are closely interrelated in a setting which is like a small village. Here, faculty, staff, and students, and their families live within a five-minute walk from the chapel, classrooms, library, and refectory.

Built in 1893, Sabine Hall, commonly known as "the Cloister" provides a covered walkway from the Chapel to the classrooms, faculty offices, and apartments for single students. The library, adminstrative offices, and a gymnasium are also located within the central core of buildings. Married students live in an area known as "the Peaks"— a community of modern and attractive one-, two-, and three-bedroom townhouses.




The Tender Hearts Day Care Center is located on campus for families with younger children. For older children, there are several excellent public and private schools within minutes of the campus. Public school busses make stops on the campus each morning and afternoon.

The heart of the community is the Chapel. Three times a day, Michael, the one-ton bell standing outside the Chapel of St. Mary the Virgin calls the community to prayer. Three times a day—before Morning and Evening Prayer and at noon—a member of the Junior class rings the Angelus, the traditional prayer commemorating the Incarnation. Although there is no formal midday service at Nashotah (except on Fridays), members of the community pause for prayer wherever they may be on campus, while Michael sounds across the grounds.
