Good school. I am happy to see it continue to offer an alternative in the community to public school. The school family is great to be a part of, and we welcoming to new students from the community. The academics are strong, and there's extra support from aides if students need help in a certain subject.

We have been very pleased with Illinois Lutheran and the solid academic Christian education our children are getting. The teachers care for each student, and Christ's love is radiated throughout all the staff and everything they do. Classes are small, and our children are thriving. Christ's love is shared with our kids daily, and our kids are being well equipped for future learning and life. They are being academically challenged and given plenty of opportunities to move their bodies throughout the day with 3 recesses to help them be better learners when it is time to learn. There are adequate opportunities for parents to get involved with being room parents, chaperoning field trips, or being part of the Charger Booster Association. This school is like family, and we are happy to be a part of it.
