About Lisa

Lisa M. Dohm joined the Interlochen Arts Academy faculty in 1994 after completing graduate school. She spent 11 years instructing Spanish and English as a Second Language. She left in 2005 to pursue advanced degrees believing that one day she would return to Interlochen. After 16 years, Dohm found herself back in a classroom in a rotunda. As she walks the halls and explores the beautiful campus with all the new buildings and sees familiar faces from the past, she ponders, "Who says you can never go home again?" Dohm is overjoyed to be back experiencing the "magic of Interlochen."

All students can learn. They just need the support and direction of a compassionate instructor who knows how to balance standards of excellence with realistic and attainable goals for each student. It is an ongoing reflective journey for the instructor in order to allow each individual student to flourish.
