First Lutheran School has been faithfully learning and serving
since 1869, partnering with families in a Christ-centered
environment to nurture students academically, socially, and
spiritually. Located in a caring, family-focused community, we
provide a meaningful academic experience with effective class sizes
that allow each child to be known, supported, and challenged.
At First Lutheran, students grow as critical thinkers,
compassionate communicators, and resilient individuals, grounded in
faith and guided by Biblical truth. Our dedicated educators
integrate strong academics with Christian values, helping students
develop curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.We
believe education is a partnership.
Rooted in our Lutheran identity, we walk alongside families to
support each child's growth-encouraging perseverance, empathy,
responsibility, and respect. Students are equipped not only for
academic success, but to live out their faith with purpose,
integrity, and joy.
We love the First Lutheran School family. They have embraced our family and give each of our children the individual attention that they need to thrive. The small class sizes allow for a high quality education with a family feel. It''s such a sweet school and we are so happy there.
