School Notes

Lutheran Elementary School of Bay Ridge (LES), has been a place of education, enlightenment, respect, caring and concern since its founding by Bethlehem Lutheran Church in 1957.
We offer a high quality education to a multi-religious school population in a nurturing, yet challenging environment.
Classes are for children from nursery through 8th grade.
Our tradition of academic excellence is virtually unmatched.
From a student's earliest years we engage in challenging academic inquiry and the search for guiding Christian values.
At a time when instilling strong moral and ethical values is increasingly important, our commitment to Christian education makes LES unique among schools.
Equally important are developing strong personal character, self-esteem, leadership, self-discipline, respect for others, social responsibility and community service, tolerance, and an appreciation for all that God provides.
LES grew out of the commitment of Bethlehem Lutheran Church to provide a solid education in a moral environment.

School Reviews

I cannot recommend this school enough! My son loves it; he's learning, he's happy and safe, and education-wise, he's way above other kids in the same grade in public school. The kids are great, the staff is excellent, and it's a nice small community without the cliques. The parents are nice! The tuition is reasonable. This is the kind of environment you want for your child. They have music, plays, Spanish, gym, dress-down days, trips, after school, after-school clubs and sports, and a summer camp. The principal is excellent; she really cares—like all the staff. Could not be happier! Take a tour—you'll thank me later—kids too!
