The Lutheran Schools of Lincoln (LSL) offer both traditional and unique opportunities as part of our Christ-centered educational experience. But what makes the education at LSL schools unique?
Traditional subjects and experiences are certainly a part of the daily routines in our schools. We pride ourselves on the academic rigor of our programs, which prepare our students to take the next step in their educational journey. Throughout our system of schools, we offer programming for infants through 12th grade. We meet the needs of the whole child, which promotes success.
In addition to core curricular subjects, we integrate Christ into everything we do at LSL. We meet the needs of the whole child, which promotes success.
Henry, a kindergarten student at Trinity Lutheran, shared how his teacher taught him about God and how to be a good friend. Third-grade student Elliott also shared about her favorite subject, religion, “My teacher teaches me about God. We have a chapel, and we get to sing during chapel.” We hear from parents on many occasions about how their child comes home singing a song they learned at school, asking to say a prayer at mealtime, and asking their parents to pray with them before bed. Hadley, a fifth-grade student, notes how special it is to pray with your friends at school, and you know your friends are praying for you at home, too.
Our pastors play a prominent role in our schools, leading chapel, visiting classrooms, and greeting students. We have students from many different faith backgrounds, denominations, and churches that attend our schools. There are also many students in our schools without a church home. Any student has a place at LSL. Faith, prayer, and devotion are integrated into every aspect of school life: in the classroom, on the athletic field or court, through the arts and other activities, as part of service projects, at special events, and through media.
Teachers make learning fun! We all have jobs. There are parts of our job that are fun, and other parts that aren’t as much fun. Most students feel the same way about school. Making school fun is key to student success. Center-based learning is a key feature of our early childhood and primary classrooms, as learning through play is important for both academic and social development.
Students regularly talk about how much fun they have at school. Logan really enjoys how his teachers create “learning races” that challenge students to recall what they have learned in a fun, competitive way. Fifth-grader Hadley appreciates how each of her teachers is “unique in their own way,” and “they keep their patience and help you when you need it.”
Teachers are accessible and want their students to succeed. Students know they can stop by any of their teachers’ classrooms with a question or send them a quick email to clarify something. The same can be said for his coaches. Our teachers and coaches challenge our students to reach their full potential, redirect when needed, and celebrate their successes!
Music, arts, technology, athletics, special-interest clubs, academic contests, robotics, community service opportunities, fellowship events, fundraisers, and field trips enrich LSL students’ lives. These opportunities provide unique experiences for all of our students, providing opportunities to discover, explore, grow, and share their God-given gifts and abilities.
Our schools strive to create a sense of community within our school that extends beyond our classrooms and includes our families as part of our educational and faith community. Parents are invited and encouraged to participate in many different ways. Lutheran Schools of Lincoln would not be what they are without our parental involvement and support. As a parent at LSL, you will find a way to connect with your child’s school. Everyone at LSL knows you by name, and we value the role each person in our community plays in the success of our schools!
