Lutheran Schools Marching in the Light of God

More than 2000 early childhood centers, elementary, and high schools are operated by churches of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Lutheran Schools have a long tradition in serving children and families representing rich cultural and ethnic diversity throughout the United States.  The 250,000 children enrolled in these Lutheran schools are welcomed from many faith traditions.  Quality education for every child has been the focus of this church since its beginnings.  Martin Luther, our founder, was an advocate for education. He believed a thorough education resulted in responsible citizens  who make positive contributions to the community as well as  happier people.

Lutheran congregations were among the first faith-based groups to develop childcare, extended care and preschool programs.  Lutheran schools have a history of responding to the community needs.   Westchester Lutheran Church answered over 50 years ago when concerned members started Westchester Lutheran School with just 14 kindergarten students.   We praise God for those members with a vision for Christian education!

In addition to quality academic and developmentally appropriate curriculum, Lutheran schools understand their role as being a partner with families in focusing on the whole child.  John Scibilia, ELCA Director for schools said, "Collaborating with parents, community leaders, and all local schools and agencies sends a consistent message of the urgency for action on behalf of all children.   Children are our common language.  The church's work with children and youth is not done in isolation from families and neighborhoods. Lutheran Schools week is one way we announce we are here and ready to work with our neighbors for quality education and safe environments for every child."
