St. Paul's School is maintained by the members of St. Paul's Lutheran Church , Janesville.
The curriculum of St. Paul's School is rigorous and equips students with the needed skills to be successful in any setting. We teach the love of Jesus Christ as our Savior in all parts of our curriculum.
St. Paul's Lutheran School functions as an integral part of the educational system in the community.
Realizing the need for God in human life and affairs, our school exists for the purpose of supplying a fundamental need of religion in education, which the public school, under our system of universal education, cannot supply.
Every child born into the world is first of all God's child, endowed with an immortal soul and destined for eternity.
It is our task to bring these children to the knowledge of Jesus.
We believe that each child should be educated in all aspects of spiritual, intellectual, socio-emotional and physical development, as the Lord would have him/her go.
As Christ is the center of our lives, so He is also in, with, under, and through our educational philosophy.
