I know I made the best decision by enrolling my son here. My son is taught responsibilities, respect, kindness, and love at home. And that is what is taught at Faith Lutheran School as well. I don`t see that in public schools. Not truly anyway. We work as a team to get my kids ready to be successful and respectful beings growing up. Isn`t that what we all want and expect from our children? I wouldn`t recommend it anywhere else in Derby.

Come and See, the difference that a distinctly Christian Education makes in the lives of children today. We offer an alternative to the overcrowded and impersonal public school classrooms. Students are taught to be loving and forgiving through understanding the truth in Jesus and the world by developing minds through intelligence, analysis and critical thinking with small class and individual instruction and attention in preparation for tomorrow's opportunities today!

Great school! Teachers love their students and my daughters faith is growing. Highly recommend.
