The halls were abuzz as local beekeeper Tom Tompkins visited Lausanne's 1st- and 2nd-graders today. Papa T's lesson taught students all about the fascinating world of bees, including how they live and work together, what they do in their hives, and why they are so important to our environment.

The students were captivated as they learned about pollination and how bees help plants grow by carrying pollen from flower to flower. These tiny insects play such a big role in the world around us! Thanks for sharing, Papa T!

Now that the Upper School has moved to its new building, renovations are underway to convert the old space into a new Middle School.

With the new remodel, the Senior Stairwell, "the most mysterious place on campus," will be history. To make sure Lausanne Alumni who added their names to the walls from 1996 to 2026, we've created a virtual version you can visit from anywhere in the world.

UPDATE: We're also going through and creating hi-res photos of each display to be used to memorialize the murals in the future. You can see the current murals here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/yC2XtJDaYKxtMk2K7 .

This Labor Day, we celebrate the generations of people who have poured their time, talents and hearts into Lausanne, from the two women who started it all to the faculty and staff carrying their vision forward 100 years later. Thank you for all you do.

Happy Friday, Lynx!

A little House competition was the perfect way for our middle schoolers to wrap up the week, with Pictionary taking over EPAC!

Enjoy the long weekend, and we’ll see everyone back on campus Tuesday!

Welcome back, Lynx Parents!

Lausanne Parent Connections (LPC) kicked off its first meeting of the year this morning, bringing parents together in the Alumni Dining Room to reconnect, hear what’s ahead and learn more about the people and programs shaping the student experience. The morning included a welcome from Admissions, updates from Headmaster Stuart McCathie, introductions to our new arts faculty and a look at what’s coming up across campus.

LPC is an important part of what makes Lausanne feel like a community. By creating opportunities for parents to connect, get involved and support life on campus, LPC strengthens the relationships that make our school more than a place to learn. We’re excited for another year of bringing our Lynx families together!

With more than 40 clubs to choose from, students had plenty to explore during Lausanne’s annual Upper School Club Fair. The gym quickly filled with colorful displays, demonstrations and student leaders making their best pitches for everything from Badminton, Debate and Robotics to Fashion Club, Environmental Club, Retro Games and Drones & Aviation.

Each Upper School student can choose two clubs that meet on alternating weeks during community time. That means students can stick with something they already love, try an interest they’ve been curious about or discover something they might not have considered before. The fair gave them a chance to hear directly from classmates about what each club does, the projects they take on and what they have planned for the year ahead.

That variety is part of what makes clubs such a fun piece of the Upper School experience. One student might spend club time preparing for a robotics competition while another works on a service project, picks up a badminton racket or connects with classmates over a shared interest. However they choose to get involved, clubs give students another place to meet people, take the lead and make their Lausanne experience a little more their own!

Happy 901 Day, Lynx!

For Memphians, 901 Day offers a special opportunity to celebrate everything that makes our city unique, and Lausanne’s Class of 2027 has an additional reason to appreciate the community around them after spending Senior Internship Week learning from the businesses, organizations and professionals who help keep our city thriving.

Senior Internship Week is an annual tradition at Lausanne that allows seniors to step beyond the campus gates and explore potential career paths firsthand. This year, our seniors interned with organizations including FedEx, Campbell Clinic, Youth Villages, The Commercial Appeal, World Relief Memphis, local law offices, Baron Von Opperbean, and the River of Time, among others. While their responsibilities and settings varied, each placement offered an in-depth look into what happens behind the scenes at organizations they may have previously known only by name.

From the familiar notes of “Chère Lausanne” to the longstanding tradition of Miss and Mr. Lausanne, generations of Lynx have been connected by the shared moments that make our school feel like home. As the school celebrates its centennial, we’re looking back at how some of Lausanne’s earliest traditions began, how they have evolved over the past century and why their purpose remains as meaningful today as ever.

College may still be a couple of years away, but Lausanne’s Class of 2028 got an early look at what could be ahead during this week’s Junior College Trip to Chicago. Across six very different college campuses, students explored everything from academics and student life to campus size and setting, discovering along the way which details mattered most to them. The experience extended beyond the tours as juniors explored Chicago together, cheered on the White Sox, took in the views from Navy Pier and connected with Lausanne alumni.

The Class of 2029 stepped beyond their regular routines during Sophomore Week, spending their days serving the Memphis community, strengthening friendships and taking on new challenges together. From volunteering at Girls Inc. and the Mid-South Food Bank to racing handmade boats on Blue Heron Lake, connecting with younger students through Lynx-Up and exploring downtown Memphis, each experience encouraged teamwork, leadership and discovery. The week gave sophomores a chance to build new memories and deepen their connections with their classmates and the community around them.
