Concordia Lutheran School has been serving the residents of Cerritos and surrounding communities for over 25 years, providing Christ-centered education in a safe and family-oriented atmosphere.
Our teachers are highly qualified, caring persons who are dedicated to working closely with children and their parents.
The solid relationships forged between our staff members and our students and their families provide the means by which we fulfill our mission of preparing children for a lifetime of learning and Christian citizenship.
In addition to a curriculum enriched with academic challenges for those students who are capable, we also offer special education services for students with special needs.
The combination of a strong academic emphasis and a Bible-based philosophy of morality, nurture, and discipline sets Concordia apart from public schools and other private non-religious schools.
Our mission is to prepare children for a lifetime of learning and Christian citizenship.
