Mooseheart was one of the pioneers in the field of vocational training at the high school level.
Mooseheart High School students today have more than a dozen occupations from which to choose, including individually tailored co-op programs with either campus work functions or area businesses.
The Mooseheart schools are under the supervision of the Department of Public Instruction, State of Illinois, and are members of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Students graduating from Mooseheart High School receive not only the regular academic diploma, but also a vocational training certificate.
Mooseheart students are trained in the religious faith which prevailed in their original home or in which they were baptized, prior to coming to the “Child City.”
Mooseheart has a total acreage of 1,000 acres.  Of this total, about 400 acres are occupied by campus buildings, mown athletic and play fields, and the 23-acre lake.  The remainder constitutes Mooseheart Farm, consisting of the petting zoo, pasture, and cropland.
Mooseheart is a complete community, having its own residences, schools, church, health center, utilities, and post office.  There are more than 100 buildings and more than 12 miles of paved roads.
Mooseheart Lake has 23 acres of water, with an average depth of eight feet.  It provides boating and fishing facilities for Mooseheart children.
The Mooseheart Student Bank was established in 1928 by a Mooseheart graduate, the late John C. Meikle, Class of 1920.  In 1996, it was reorganized as the Mooseheart branch of Merchants Bank (subsequently acquired by Old Kent and then Fifth Third Bank), and now provides all modern banking services--in addition to offering a vocational training opportunity to high school students.
Mooseheart Camp Ross is a 150-acre woodland which provides year-round camping facilities for Mooseheart children.  It is located near Mount Morris, Ill., which is about 60 miles west of Mooseheart.
The Moose Legion funds the ongoing maintenance and improvements to this fine facility.
