Accredited by National Lutheran School Accreditation

Atonement Lutheran School is a ministry of Lutheran Church of the Atonement in teaching and modeling the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We assist parents and the Church in fulfilling the sacred vows made at the time of Holy Baptism regarding the Christian training of their children, for the equipment of the saints, for the work of ministry, and for the building up of the body of Christ. Our Lord says:
  • "And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your children..." Deuteronomy 6:6-7."...let the children come to me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14."Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of theSon and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Matthew 28:19-20.
We proclaim the grace, mercy, and forgiveness of God, made possible by Jesus Christ through His life, death on the cross, and His resurrection. We share the love that God has for the whole human family. We teach one philosophy of life, namely to follow God's Word and to live Christ-like lives in the service of God and our fellow men and women. We believe that every child is a gift from God and is to spend life praising and glorifying God.

We seek to help each child develop spiritually, morally, emotionally, intellectually, socially, and physically as fully as possible. Our objective for each child is maximum personal growth in all these areas so that she or he may competently meet the challenges of life and discover the full joy of a life in Christ's service.

One of the school's goals is to aid the home, not to replace it, in meeting the responsibility God has given parents to bring up a child in the training and instruction of the Lord, as Paul writes to the Ephesians, "Fathers-bring your children up in the training and instruction of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4.

School Reviews

5  
This is my son's first year in this school. Teachers in this school are caring and focused on providing a top-notch education in a Christian environment. He has thrived from the "whatever it takes to help a student succeed" attitude of the teachers and other staff at the school. It will truly be a place where he can grow and learn things that he might not have learned in a public school.
