FLS teachers, staff, and pastors are wonderful! We are so grateful to have found this school. Its emphasis on Christ-centered education pours over into everyday excellence in teaching/learning. While our daughter memorized some verses before, we were challenged as a family to now learn two verses a week, and she outstrips us old folks every time—-kids truly have sponges as brains, and filling them with God’s Word from a young age is a life gift to be tapped into by Him when they need to apply it! We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know our daughter’s classmates’ parents and appreciate them welcoming us so warmly into the FLS family. Our daughter came in after the school year started, but her wonderful 3rd-grade teacher and classmates made her feel very welcomed and helped her get caught up. Her teacher is a wonderful communicator of what she needs holistically and updates us on anything we can do to support her at home. (We were intimidated by the Latin bc neither of us parents learned it, but she has picked it up and enjoys seeing Latin roots in many words we use!) We love the books and paper used too—-no tablets are a blessing! We are not of Lutheran background but have enjoyed the observing of Advent, Lent, Ash Wednesday, and the beauty of thoughtful and reverent worship in new ways (for us) through this school. We are so thankful to God for this school!

Our family is very thankful for Faith Lutheran School. Our children have received an excellent, classical, Christian education. Our oldest is a junior in high school and has attended Faith since kindergarten. We are thankful that this school faithfully teaches the Bible and its unchanging truth rather than the shifting, post-modern values of the world. We are thankful for the classical curriculum, which relies on time-tested methods of teaching children rather than the latest cultural fad or government stipulation. Our high school student is learning philosophy, literature, history, and art from the excellent Omnibus class. They have read an amazing number of classics, original texts in their entirety, including Plato’s Republic, Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and Virgil’s The Aeneid. The teachers, administration, and pastors are very knowledgeable and care about the students. Our children are getting a solid foundation in math and science. We are grateful we found Faith Lutheran School because it is one of a few schools that meets the classical education model’s objective of a well-trained mind, while teaching and instilling the Christian faith that will last for a lifetime.

I had the privilege of attending this school from 1st grade all the way through 8th, then continuing on in their newly created high school program until 12th grade and graduation. The classes in the middle school were small and had the potential for excellent attention from the teachers (most of whom were fantastic and well versed in their calling) with about 18-22 students being the average count per 1-8th grade class. In high school the student count was far lower, in the single digits per class, but only because of it having newly gotten off the ground and the knowledge of its’ existence wasn’t too common. The amount of academic and physical educational opportunities are, on the whole, well fleshed out for a private school of this size. But the thing that lasted after my time there was my faith in God, my awareness of culture and historical importance in this constantly changing world, and the close dear friends who I still talk to today five years later. I only marked four stars for the school removing the legendary tires that used to be part of the playground equipment…they’ll never be able to top that experience.
