Grace Lutheran Church & School
A Christ-Centered Academic Program Rooted in Excellence
At Grace Lutheran School (GLS), we provide a comprehensive, high-quality education for students from Preschool (2s) through 8th grade. What sets us apart is not just our commitment to academic excellence, but the foundation upon which we build itβJesus Christ.
At Grace, we educate the mind and nurture the soul. We teach students about Christβs love and sacrifice, guiding them to grow in faith, wisdom, and character as they develop academically.
Our Curriculum & Academic Approach
π Biblically-Integrated Learning β While we use secular textbooks, every subject is taught through a Christian worldview that emphasizes morals, values, and faith-based principles.
π Comprehensive Core Subjects β Students engage in Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Bible Studies, Physical Education, Art, Music, and Spanish (Grades 3-8).
π» Technology for Todayβs Learners β Technology is seamlessly integrated at all levels. Grades 3-8 have individually assigned laptops, while Preschool-2nd grade students share tablets and laptops to enhance interactive learning.
Preschool: Building a Strong Foundation
Our preschool program (Pre-K2βPre-K4) uses the Frog Street Curriculum, a research-based, play-driven approach designed to foster early literacy, numeracy, social-emotional skills, and faith development in a nurturing Christian environment.
Academic Excellence & Student Success

Students are tested three times a year to track progress and identify strengths, ensuring they receive the support needed to thrive. This test is also part of our admissions process to assess academic readiness.
π Phonics-Based Reading Instruction β In Kindergarten and lower grades, we emphasize phonics instruction to build a strong foundation in literacy, helping students become confident and fluent readers.
