Lad Lake Dousman Campus

Lad Lake is dedicated to guiding the growth of youth and families, particularly those who have faced significant challenges such as trauma, abuse, and mental health struggles. Serving over 1,100 young people each year, the school focuses on a diverse range of students, including those with histories of family instability and addiction. With a commitment to individualized care, Lad Lake employs trauma-informed and evidence-based practices to help each child navigate their unique journey toward healing and self-reliance. The programs offered encompass safety, individualized therapy, and skill-building initiatives that foster independence through education and residential services. What sets Lad Lake apart is its emphasis on low student-to-teacher ratios and strong family partnerships, creating an environment where youth feel supported and empowered. Additionally, the school actively engages with the community through events that raise awareness and funds for vulnerable youth, reinforcing its mission to build brighter futures for all.
