Welcome to Grace Lutheran School

At Grace Lutheran School (GLS), our mission is to nurture the whole child — academically, spiritually, and socially within a Christ-centered environment. We believe that every child is uniquely created by God, and we are committed to equipping them with the tools, character, and faith they need to thrive.

  • GROW in the love of Christ by developing wisdom, knowledge, and strong character.
  • LEARN in the love of Christ through academic excellence, meaningful communication, and strong partnerships with families.
  • SUCCEED in the love of Christ as servant leaders in the church, community, and beyond.

Our Legacy of Excellence
Since our founding in 1974, Grace Lutheran School has been dedicated to providing a faith-filled education that challenges and inspires young minds. What began as a small preschool has flourished into a fully accredited institution serving students from PreK-2 through 8th grade.
