My children both started at Immanuel this year, and we couldn't be happier! The teachers and staff are both amazing educators and kind/caring people. The class sizes are small, so the students get solid, individualized attention. Plus, the kids truly look forward to school each day. Immanuel is a special place!

I cannot say enough about how incredible Immanuel Lutheran School is. A friend recommended the preschool program and we've never looked back! The class sizes are small, so the teachers really get to know your child's strengths, weaknesses, and personality. This helps them build actual, individualized learning plans, not one size fits most. The students are all wonderful, kind and caring. They have a bible buddies program that pairs younger kids with bigger kids. It's mostly arts and crafts and little projects together. I have absolutely loved this program. It has been such a blessing to my children to have the positive influence of the older students, and now my children get to be that same influence for preschoolers! Immanuel is building future leaders! I am so glad we chose to send our children to Immanuel, instead of Elmhurst 205. They love going to school every day; they actually cheer for joy when it's Sunday night. Lastly, my husband and I are not from the area, we are so grateful for the parent community at Immanuel.
