At Elm Grove Lutheran School, our mission is to assist and support parents in providing a Christ-centered education that will equip God's children to faithfully serve as witnessing Christians and productive citizens.
We aim to provide children the opportunity to study God's Word, with an emphasis on Luther's Small Catechism with explanation, so that the children reach a level of spiritual maturity enabling them to confirm the faith into which they were baptized.
We also aim to provide thorough instruction in a balanced elementary curriculum that prepares students for success at the high school level and beyond.
We accept WI and Milwaukee Choice Vouchers We offer before school care and after school care
