Home/Academics
AcademicsA Christian education that lasts a lifetime.
From childcare through 8th grade, our curriculum integrates faith across every subject—developing academically proficient students who are ready for high school, college, and Christian living.
Faith and learning, together.
A Christian education is what sustains our students throughout their lives. Our academics are grounded in the Christian beliefs of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, integrating faith into every subject area. Our curriculum aligns with Michigan state requirements and LCMS District guidelines.
We track each student’s growth with the NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment, administered three times a year, so we can support every child as an individual.
What your child will learn.

Daily Bible learning, prayer, and chapel that anchor the whole curriculum in God’s Word.
