By focusing on virtue rather than values, Faith Lutheran School commits itself to what endures. We aim not merely to prepare students for the present moment, but to form young people capable of faithful life in whatever moment God places them.

Faith Lutheran School’s story—from its founding in 1971 to its flourishing today—is part of a much larger story: the story of the Church’s commitment to form hearts and minds for Christ. The school’s embrace of classical Lutheran education is not a step backward but a step deeper into its own heritage.

So let us not shy away from the word “discipline.” Let us reclaim it as a word of hope and love. For in discipline lies the seed of wisdom, the path of virtue, and the joy of a life well ordered under God.

We need our Good Shepherd’s guidance each and every moment of every day. We need a Good Shepherd who will seek after us when we are lost or wandering.

A friend once told me she believed classical Lutheran education could help save the world. That’s a pretty bold statement—it earned an eyebrow raise from me.
