Besides being local and Christ-centered, here are a few reasons why we think Southwest Michigan Lutheran Schools are the right fit for you and your child:

Caring Community

We operate caring, safe, small schools. Each of our schools is directly connected to a church or a federation of churches. That means not only are the teachers a part of encouraging students toward success, but pastors and congregation members are interested in these students’ success, too. Our small school and class sizes allow for more personal attention than larger schools can provide. Tutors are available at our schools when specialized attention is needed.

Relationships

At our schools, you’ll generally find strong parent-to-parent relationships. You’ll find supportive parent-teacher relationships, encouraging student-teacher relationships, and faith-based student-pastor relationships. Most importantly is the relationship Christ has with each of our faculty, parents and students. Christ is present for each of us in His Word and Sacraments, forgiving us even when our relationships aren’t so strong, supportive or encouraging, and then enabling and strengthening us to be more strong, supportive and encouraging.

‘Law and Gospel’ Approach to Education

Lutheran schools, like the people who learn and teach in them, aren’t perfect. Yet, the message at our schools is forgiveness and grace. That Christ, who was perfect because we could not be, died on a cross to atone for all of our sins. Through His Word, which is taught in our schools, the forgiveness, life and salvation Christ won is brought to each student. This means in all of our classes the law will be applied in its sternness to students who are disobedient. But it also means the Gospel will be taught in all its sweetness, and forgiveness applied to students who repent. This makes Lutheran schools great places to grow, not only academically, but spiritually.
