Wisconsin Academy is a secondary coeducational boarding school formerly known as Bethel Academy and was founded in 1899 by the Wisconsin Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. It operated at Arpin, Wisconsin, until the spring of 1949. Beginning September 4, 1949, the school opened its doors near Columbus, Wisconsin, under the name of Wisconsin Academy. Wisconsin Academy maintains high standards—not to discourage, but to challenge all students and help them reach worthy goals: mentally, physically, and spiritually. Students will be expected to try sincerely to honor Christ in all they do. Also, they are to respect and uphold the principles and policies of the school. Potential students will want to carefully read over this handbook and give special attention to the statement of desired outcomes and the student statement of commitment before deciding to attend Wisconsin Academy. The principal, along with his administrative team and those faculty and staff hired by the administration and the Board of Education, has been charged with the responsibility for the school's successful operation. Students are expected to give proper respect and show courteous behavior toward those in authority. Parents are encouraged to cooperate with and support the position of the administration, faculty, and staff. A student is always expected to follow directions given by a staff member unless they are asked to do something illegal or immoral. If a student feels he/she is being mistreated, he/she should do what is asked and then come to the principal or vice-principal to explain the concern. We encourage open dialogue in a kind and tactful manner as we jointly tend to train and educate our youth. Wisconsin Academy is a coeducational school that admits students of any race, religion, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, and programs available to students. Wisconsin Academy does not discriminate based on race, color, or national and ethnic origin in administering its educational policies, admission policies, and other school-administered programs.

Concordia University Wisconsin is known for its breathtaking views of Lake Michigan. Many students will say the campus' location played a significant role in their decision to enroll. However, a large percentage of Concordia alumni living today—and even a few current faculty—will recall making a very different commute to school. That is because Concordia's original campus was located in downtown Milwaukee on 31st Street, between State and Highland Streets. From the school's inception in 1881 to 1983, students who attended CUW (then called Concordia College) did so. The inaugural class of Concordians, which was comprised of 13 students, met in the basement of Trinity Lutheran Church in downtown Milwaukee. The next year, the 31st Street property was purchased to start Concordia's first permanent campus. For the next approximately eight decades, Concordia College offered high school and the first two years of a liberal arts college program, providing classical, technical, and religious instruction for students who desired to prepare themselves for the Lutheran Church ministry. In 1978, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod authorized Concordia to become a four-year accredited college that would provide instruction in teacher education, nursing, medical assistant, social work, and engineering. In a farsighted move in 1982, the LCMS purchased the former campus of the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Mequon, Wisconsin, and the college was moved 15 minutes north of its original site. On August 27, 1989, the Board of Regents approved the move to university status, and Concordia University Wisconsin became the first University among the 10-member Concordia University System. In 2012, CUW entered into a strategic relationship with Concordia University in Ann Arbor. The University now consists of two residential campuses in Wisconsin and Ann Arbor, ten satellite centers located throughout Wisconsin and in St. Louis, and online programs that reach students worldwide, with one President and governing body presiding overall.
