Amazing school. The staff was welcoming and kind from Day 1. Our children love attending this school and we're proud to be a part of the First Lutheran family.

First Lutheran in Lake Geneva is a wonderful school that uses God's Word as the basis for education. Our sons had a first-class education and were well-prepared for high school. They learned Christian values in a small school setting and the skills they needed to succeed as adults.
