FAQ
Can you tell me more about Our Savior Lutheran?
Our Savior Lutheran School was founded in 1984 to provide children with a well-rounded Christian education. Our new, modern facility was completed in 1998. We currently have a staff of two teachers that teach Kindergarten through 8th grade, as well as a team of volunteers that help with music, art, tutoring and coaching.
Can our children opt out of learning about your religion?
Since God's word is the foundation of our school, and consequently our education program, students at the school are required to participate in the religion classes.
What curriculum do you use?
Our curriculum is designed to give our children the best education possible. Our textbooks are reviewed on a regular basis so that they are kept as up-to-date as possible. Each subject is taught from a Christ-centered perspective.

Non-member students will be accepted under the following conditions:
1- The parents will take an introductory course in Christian Doctrine sponsored by Our Savior Lutheran Church within the first six weeks of enrollment, to be completed within nine months.
2- The parents support the religious training of their children at home and school, especially in the completion of Christian memory work.
3- The parents are willing to participate in their child's education and in school events.
All applications for enrollment will be subject to approval by the Pastor, the Principal and the Board of Education.
