There’s something special going on at Our Saviors Lutheran Church and School. When children are inspired, they reach further, not just as students, but as people. Our Savior’s Lutheran School is focused on creating a learn-ing environment that balances the heart, mind and spirit… to educate and inspire. With small class sizes, a fully accredited school, and a highly educated, creden-tialed teaching staff, the students excel academically. At the same time, they are guided by the power of faith, the value of character and the importance of serv-ing one’s community.
The teachers, administrators and staff at Our Savior’s celebrate and honor the di-versity of gifts, abilities and backgrounds each child contributes to the school community. All faiths are welcome.
