All of our teachers are graduated from accredited colleges and have a Bachelor's or higher degree.

Immanuel Lutheran School is Christ-based and each day starts with teachings of the bible.

On Wednesdays, our pastor leads the studies in Chapel instead of the classroom.

In addition, the average school day consists of reading, writing, English, arithmetic, history, science, Spanish as a second language, gym, and art.

The Immanuel Lutheran School Society is a parent-teacher organization, that meets two or three times during the school year.

The purpose of this group is to promote better communication, aid in parental and educational knowledge, encourage fellowship and support school functions.
