Our Savior Christian Academy

  • What makes a Lutheran school different from other private or public schools?

    Lutheran schools integrate Christian faith, academic excellence, and character formation into every part of the school day. Students learn in an environment grounded in Scripture, love and forgiveness, and a Christ-centered worldview while still receiving a rigorous, well-rounded education.
  • Do students need to be Lutheran to attend?

    No. Many families come from a variety of Christian backgrounds—or no faith background at all. The school teaches from a Lutheran Christian perspective, and all students participate in religion classes and chapel, but enrollment is open to all families who support the school’s mission.
  • What curriculum does the school use?

    The curriculum blends state academic standards with high-quality Christian educational materials. Core subjects include reading, math, science, and social studies, along with religion, music, art, physical education, and technology. Teachers integrate faith and learning across all subjects. Teachers role model and share their faith with students.
  • How is faith incorporated into the school day?

    Faith is woven into daily life through morning prayer and devotions, weekly chapel services, and dedicated religion classes. Students also participate in meaningful service projects, all within a school culture that emphasizes grace, kindness, and responsibility. Our faculty and staff model God’s love and forgiveness each day, creating a nurturing and Christ-centered environment.
  • What are the class sizes?

    Class sizes are intentionally kept small to support individual attention, strong relationships, and differentiated instruction. Exact numbers vary by grade level, but most classes range from 10-15 students.
  • What qualifications do the teachers have?

    Teachers are state-certified and many hold additional Lutheran teaching credentials. They receive ongoing professional development in both academic instruction and faith-based education.
  • What extracurricular activities are offered?

    Programs vary by grade level but often include Pep Club, connecting to other schools for Athletics and opportunities through Our Savior Lutheran Church.
  • How does the school handle discipline?

    Discipline is rooted in Christ's love and forgiveness, emphasizing respect, responsibility, and reconciliation. The goal is to guide students toward positive choices, restore relationships, and help them grow in character.
  • How do I begin the enrollment process?

    Families typically begin the admissions process by scheduling a tour or attending an open house. They then complete an application and submit academic records and recommendations. A meeting with the principal or admissions team follows to ensure the best fit for the student. Once accepted, families receive detailed information about tuition, the school calendar, and orientation to help them prepare for a smooth start.
