Nurturing South Side Parochial-Private School

For generations, we have been serving PreK-8th grade students in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood. With a St. Paul education, your child will understand what it means to follow Jesus and to grow as God’s child. We recognize that all children are unique and have different learning needs, so we provide students with hands-on instruction designed to push, uplift, and help them flourish. At St. Paul, every child is seen and known in a faith-based private school community.

2025 Summer Camp!

Academics

At St. Paul Lutheran School, we offer a balanced curriculum based on the Common Core State Standards. Our intimate class sizes and one-on-one instruction allow students to reach their full academic potential. In addition to academics, students attend weekly chapel services, participate in social & emotional instruction, and are embraced as beloved children of God.
