Christ Lutheran School was established because of our dedication to do all within our power to tell others about Jesus and His love for us.
Our school is founded on the promise of God where we are told to "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Christ Lutheran School's purpose is to provide academic excellence in a Christian environment for the children of southwest Atlanta.
In this process, we are concerned with the development of the "whole" child.
In other words, we are concerned with the spiritual, physical, academic, emotional, and social growth of every student.
Our school exists to provide an excellent academic foundation for the students.
Teachers demonstrate God's love to each child. Students are taught to do their best because God's best gift of His Son, Jesus, was given for them on the cross.
