Clarinda Lutheran School provides an education firmly based on Biblical truths to build Christian faith, Christian character and academic excellence.
A Christian school provides the best and fullest opportunity for the education of the whole child (physically, mentally, socially and spiritually) for his or her whole life.
While the child studies the secular subjects, he/she is still God's child who must learn that all knowledge and life are from God and must be used to glorify God.
A Christian school provides the most desirable school situation by having the children under the influence of God's Word every day throughout the week, in a school in which the Christian Spirit is a part of all the relationships and instruction of the children.
