Trinity Lutheran School

Trinity Lutheran School has been in operation since 1862. It was founded by Immanuel Lutheran Church of St. Charles for the benefit of its members living in the Prairie District northeast of the city.
The first school was built in 1862. In 1875, the members of the Prairie District were given release from Immanuel and were granted the privilege to build the present house of worship.
Therefore, our purpose is to educate each child in a Christ- centered atmosphere, providing faith-integrated academics that empower students to function with confidence in Christ through all life's situations.
Furthermore, our goals are: to teach children in a stimulating environment, offering a variety of experiences and materials that develop each child's full potential in Christ; To equip parents and guardians for their important role in Christian education; and To foster an environment where the church, school, and family work together for a child's total education.
