Campus Location
Tucked away in the woods overlooking Upper Nashotah Lake, Nashotah, Wisconsin is located in Waukesha County’s “Lake Country.” The geography offers a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Milwaukee or Madison, but is still relatively nearby to the amenities of both cities. Nashotah is surrounded by many lakes, woods, parks, and historic towns and villages with award-winning restaurants and desirable school districts.
