School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"Living Word Lutheran School aims to
provide students and parents with a
curriculum that educates children for a
more meaningful relationship with their
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Living
Word Lutheran School also has a great
responsibility to educate children for a
productive and meaningful life here on
earth. Therefore, all aspects of the
curriculum are focused on educating
children for a life of service to God and
others as they grow in knowledge,
confidence, and creativity.
The students will be instructed, guided,
and trained to achieve to the best of
their ability. This is God-pleasing and
beneficial for them in gaining competence.
Ability levels vary according to many
factors, and all children will be challenged
appropriately to expand their knowledge
and skill level.
