About Our Schools
THE
GOOD NEWS about Chicago Lutheran schools never makes
headlines,
but it should.
Teachers
are teaching, students are learning and parents are actively
involved in their children's education. Their stories are
full of faith, hope, sacrifice and success, even though
many of their neighborhoods are plagued by gangs, violence
and abuses of every kind.
Children
of all races, creeds and economic backgrounds learn
and achieve in Chicago Lutheran schools.
Good schools
in the heart of the neighborhoods
Lutheran schools are
neigborhood schools. Located throughout the city, more
than 33 Lutheran schools
serve children of all races, creeds and economic backgrounds.
They are an irreplaceable educational alternative for
many families, a safe haven where children can learn.
Each Lutheran school
operates independently and is financed primarily by
student tuition and family contributions. Great effort
is made to keep tuition affordable. At the same time,
teachers and parents are committed to quality education.
Good families
who truly value Christian education
Families sacrifice to
send their children to Lutheran schools. For them,
Lutheran schools are fortresses of Christian love,
values and responsibility. For single parent and low-income
working families, these schools are special blessings
in their lives.
Each school is like a "family of families" where
children learn Christian faith and values, and live them
every day.
Kids who are the pride of Chicago
Thousands
of children are learning to achieve
in Chicago Lutheran schools.
Committed, caring Christian
teachers help each child discover his or her special abilities.
Strong academic programs ensure that each child masters
basic skills, and consistently high scores on standardized
tests are proof. Children in Lutheran schools learn to
expect a lot from themselves. |
