Creating Tomorrow’s Leaders….
Today through Faith, Family and Education
St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church, and School have been a staple in the Greater Grand Crossing Area since 1889. We continue to serve the community through ministry, education and community service.
At St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran School, we offer a rigorous Common Core Standard (CCS) based curriculum. Our smaller class size allows for small group instruction that targets students’ ability to succeed. We have a faith based instruction that guides our students though a journey of human development towards God’s objective for man, 2 Timothy 3:17 (KJV) “That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
We offer Early Childhood Education (3 and 4 year olds) and K-8th grade
The majority of our students met/or exceeded national norms on the Measurement of Academic Progress (MAP) exam and 100% of our students are accepted into high achieving parochial or chartered schools. We are proud to be a partner with CLEF (Chicago Lutheran Education Foundation) and have a LINK scholarship recipient.
“Feed My Lambs” – a command of Jesus’ that led to the opening of St. Paul Lutheran School is a mission that lives today. Since 1889, St. Paul Lutheran School began as a one room Christian Day School with 14 pupils. It has served the Grand Crossing community and the South Side of Chicago ever since.
As the church’s congregational needs grew, so did the school. In 1934, the school expanded to K through 6th grades. Today, the school offers PRE-K through 8th grades.
This foundational school ministry has created a legacy of generations of families who have grown to know Christ through their experiences at St. Paul Lutheran School.
At St. Paul Lutheran School, that tight-knit family culture remains intact today. Children are recognized as unique and every child is seen, heard, and encouraged to flourish and become all that God meant them to be.
