A Commitment for Christian Education

The purpose of Our Savior Lutheran School is to assist parents in fulfilling the Great Commission given to us by our Lord and Savior Jesus. (Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.) That purpose, simply stated, is to disciple the children under our care for time and eternity by bringing them up in the instruction of the Lord (John 21:15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John , do you truly love me more that these? Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.)

Why A Christian School?

  1. It assists believers in meeting their God-given duty to teach children the Word of God.             
  2. All learning is centered in Christ.             
  3. Discipline can be administered through the use of God's Law and Gospel.             
  4. It helps the children learn to focus their eyes on eternal life and not the things of this life.             
  5. Christian friendships are made.             
  6. Besides being nurtured in their faith, children are encouraged and trained to share their faith.

Course of Study

  1. The courses of study are based on the truths of God's Word and the requirements of the State of Wisconsin.             
  2. Textbooks are carefully chosen by the teacher that the children may get the best training possible.             
  3. Textbooks are kept up-to-date and reviewed each year.             
  4. Nationally standardized tests are administered every other year to students in grades 1-8. Kindergarten students are tested every year.
