Mission statement
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
Proverbs 9:10
Children need to be trained in the way they should go, namely, in the LORD’s way. Therefore, children need the correction, guidance, security and comfort which only God’s Word can give. The purpose of Grace Lutheran School is to assist parents in providing this Christian education to their children.
God placed human beings within families for very good reasons. A family is the biggest influence on each child’s chances for a happy life (both now and in eternity), and therefore it is part of Grace Lutheran School’s mission to strengthen and encourage families with the guidance God gives in His Word.
We are here to help families raise their children. Our small size allows us to do this differently than conventional schools can. We start each day with an all-school devotion service; share recess and lunch times across all grades; studying some subjects across grades simultaneously, yet with age-appropriate work (the same science and history focuses, for example, with easier work for younger children and harder for older). Our doors are always open if parents wish to volunteer for school activities.
Classical Lutheran education focuses on infusing God’s Word into every subject. We will teach a serious, rich, and historic theology of God and His Church on earth as found in Holy Scripture and detailed in the Book of Concord. God’s Word and Christian theology guide our studies, causing us to seek not the wisdom of the flesh, but the wisdom of God.
Through careful attention to our students’ spiritual, mental, and physical habits, Grace Lutheran School will partner with parents and the church in teaching students to imitate Christ and lead them to grow in wisdom, knowledge, and the fear of the LORD.
