Lutheran schools and education were a priority for Lutherans who emigrated to the United States and Australia from Germany and Scandinavia. One of the first things they did was to create schools for their children. This strong educational tradition was handed down from Martin Luther himself. The oldest continuously operating school in the United States is St. Matthew Lutheran School in Manhattan. It was started in 1752 and still operates preschool through eighth grades. When the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) was founded in 1847, this tradition of Lutheran education was continued. The synod was started by twelve churches that operated a total of nineteen schools. Several of the churches operated a number of schools in the rural countryside so that students would not have to walk too far to school each day.
Grace Lutheran School is a Preschool through 8th Grade NLSA accredited Christian school, with a mission to provide Christ-centered learning for Christ-centered living in a nurturing and supportive environment. We partner with parents to instruct and train children in spiritual, academic, physical, social, and emotional areas of development while strengthening relationships with God and each other. Our students are challenged and prepared for today’s world as active Christians, literate communicators, and well-rounded, effective learners.
