Our son attended OSLS Pre-school and is currently in the 3rd grade at OSLS ! With me being a public school teacher, we had every intention to just stay for preschool and pre-k and then move on to public school. However, that quickly changed with how amazing our experience was for both us and our son! He LOVES school, does not want to miss a day!!!! He has received a great education! The classroom teachers, academics, chapel Wednesdays, small class sizes, after school care and programs are top notch! On top of that, they have great PE, Music, Computer and Spanish teachers as well!!! The love and care that come from everyone on campus has truly made OSLS a great school ! We love Our Savior's Lutheran School

The best school in Southern California. OSLS provides a foundation that is priceless. My daughter is now in 7th grade. She has been on the honor roll since 6th grade and continues today. I thank OSLS for the teaching and confidence that my daughter has and shows in her school work. Thank you Our Savior's! Now let's focus on my son in third grade.
