School Philosophy

The Lutheran Elementary School, a Christian school, is an educational community composed of a dedicated professional staff, parents, and students. As a community of faith, we are part of the Church’s teaching to “teach as Jesus did” and “to teach all nations”. We believe God created us all in His image, and therefore, we love and respect all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Each member of our community relates to one another with mutual respect and concern, working together within an environment vibrant with enthusiasm for learning, creativity, and personal growth. We pride ourselves on promoting academic achievement and in developing young men and women with love, knowledge, truth, and hope. We strive to instill in our students an understanding of the Christian faith so that this understanding will enable them to meet the needs of the community in which they live and to extend themselves to the global community wherever possible.

Our curriculum is designed to lead our students from the simple learning of facts to the development of insights and critical thinking, thus enabling them to function effectively with the diverse society outside our faith community, while they continue to keep the Christian values engendered at our school. LES is committed to developing individual excellence in all of its students.

We strive to share with our students an appreciation for a life based on Christian values, service to others, and ideals as exemplified in the life of Jesus.

We make every effort to develop young men and women who can meet the future spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.
