Why Pick a Lutheran School?

Lutheran schools…

  • Are driven by a commitment to the Gospel and focused on a mission of bringing hope and healing to students and families.

  • Meet or exceed state and national academic standards at all grade levels.

  • Help to develop a minimum of 30 developmental assets in children.

  • Have educators who model visionary leadership. They practice stewardship of resources, build up others and empathize with others.

  • Have educators who model servant leadership. Do those served grow as persons; do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? (Robert Greenleaf)
