Faith First

Our students come from a variety of backgrounds, all with a common goal.  What sets Lutheran school children apart from those in public schools is an interest in building their faith through religious instruction.  Grade school students learn from the positive example of their Lutheran classroom teachers and are taught to do the right thing by overcoming their imperfections.  Lutheran grade schools have behavior concerns just like every other school, only we approach these issues from a philosophy based on scripture and Christ’s teachings.  Not only does this instill high self-expectations among our students, but it also teaches that forgiveness is the key to building great relationships.

Lutheran schools are an investment in a child’s future career and in their eternity.  A quality academic education is an investment in preparing your child for high school and beyond, but when the academic education is enriched with faith-based learning, an investment is made in their eternal life.  There is great value in placing your child in an environment where God’s Word offers direction.

Small class sizes build a family atmosphere. 

We offer small class sizes that help us build a “family” atmosphere.  It’s not unusual for teachers, staff, and students to know every other student in the school. The environment is small enough that children do not get lost in the shuffle. The manageable class sizes also help promote regular “one on one” time with students and teachers. 

Godly Digital Citizen

Equip. Engage. Encourage. Expand. 

Our students are instructed on appropriate use of technology and their responsibility to leave a Godly Digital Footprint. We model and encourage usage that will allow students to discover the world that God created and their role in it. Our students are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in high school, college and a part of God's Kingdom. Students work together and expand their learning environment to take learning beyond the classroom walls. We provide hands-on opportunities that allow students to take the reigns and experience the joy of exploratory learning. Each student in grades K-3 will interact and learn using desktop computers and iPads. Each student in grades 4-8 will create and collaborate using Chromebooks and desktop computers.

Nutritious Lunches

The Our Shepherd Hot Lunch program is outstanding.  Our Shepherd has done away with the heat and serve processed lunch found at most schools.  We have gone back to the basics; making homemade, wholesome meals with fresh ingredients.
