2012-2013 School Year
Our school is a ministry of Concordia Lutheran Church and, most importantly, our Lord Jesus Christ. We are a Christian ministry in which we teach in a quality, caring, and disciplined learning environment. We need and truly expect your help as parents through communication, parent/teacher organization, fiscal responsibility, and serving children with our staff in many educational ways. Together we pray for our school and our attending families. Today and tomorrow we will make a difference through learning and bonding together.
Philosophy of Education
A Christian Education at Concordia Lutheran School is a ministry consistent with the Holy Word of God. Following our Savior, Jesus Christ, as the greatest teacher, we further His kingdom. God is the Creator of all things. All areas of study are considered important. We will nurture the emotional, spiritual, social, and academic well-being of the student.
We believe that parents have the primary responsibility for the education of their children. Teachers only assist parents in this responsibility. We use methods and materials that are academically sound, current, and God-pleasing. As Christian teachers, we witness our relationship with God at all times, in the classroom, and in all activities.
Our Mission
Concordia Lutheran School believes that children are precious gifts from God, and as such, we, in partnership with their parents, strive to nurture students to achieve academic excellence, spiritual growth, good citizenship, leadership and service to the community that both honor and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Faith
We believe in the Triune God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe that God created the world and all things in it.
Due to man’s sin, we are separated from God.
By His death on the cross, Jesus has restored our relationship with God, making us His people.
This relationship is given to all that believe in Jesus as their Savior. We believe this relationship is created and sustained by the Holy Spirit working through the Bible, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper. As our relationship with God grows, the following fruits become evident:
1. A life of service to God and other people.
2. A desire to pray for self and others, study God’s Word, and participate in worship.
3. A desire to share our faith in God with other people.
4. A desire to always follow God’s will as expressed in the Bible; both on and off school grounds.
All policies in the handbook are subject to interpretation and enforcement by teachers and administration.
