Lutheran Neighborhood Schools
We’re a group of Christian educators that believe in a unique educational approach focused on personal learning, intentional faith development, family involvement, community connectedness, and life skills.
Our Mission
Rethinking education to faithfully serve our students, churches, and communities.
Our Vision
We will create model schools that improve education as a whole and that develop servant leaders and creative thinkers that fully live out their purpose for Christ.
Discipleship
Character Development:
Integrating Christian values, LNS focuses on building character, fostering respect, empathy, and a sense of community among students.
Preparation for Life:
By embedding life skills and discipleship into the curriculum, students are prepared for life beyond academics, equipped with the moral and ethical compass necessary for leadership and service.
Freedom With Responsibility
Balanced Autonomy:
Our educational philosophy emphasizes the balance between freedom and responsibility, offering students the autonomy to explore their interests while ensuring they meet their academic and personal goals.
Self-Directed Learning:
This balance prepares students to manage their time effectively, prioritize tasks, and develop a strong sense of responsibility—skills essential for lifelong success.
Moonshot Projects
Real-World Learning:
Students engage in projects that solve real-world problems, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and practical skills. Moonshot projects encourage students to think big and work on solutions for global challenges, preparing them for future innovation.
Engagement and Exploration:
This hands-on learning approach keeps students engaged and motivated, allowing them to explore subjects deeply and make meaningful connections to their world.
A Hero's Journey
Personalized Growth:
At LNS, we see education as a personal journey of discovery and growth. Students are encouraged to embark on their own “Hero’s Journey,” fostering independence, resilience, and self-discovery through challenges that prepare them for real-life situations.
Empowerment Through Learning:
This approach empowers students to take ownership of their learning, navigating through academic and personal challenges with the support and guidance of mentors, preparing them for success beyond the classroom.
