Emmanuel Lutheran School (Top Ranked Private School for 2025-26)

22425 Morley Ave
Dearborn, MI 48124

Emmanuel Lutheran School exists to teach children to read, to learn and to live and to grow into the fullness of Christ through His Word and Sacraments.

Our children also learn to join Christ in service to the fallen world as redeemed sons and daughters of God, wise but innocent.

Parents are chiefly responsible before God for the education and nurture of their children.

Therefore our parents in league with our teachers, agree to support and model what pleases God in bringing up their children.

More than merely teaching morals and what it means to be 'good', we work under Christ to teach children to turn to the source and fountain of all goodness and holiness, God Himself.
