My son Joshua has attended this school all the way through to 5th grade this year. He is very intelligent and although we have had some family changes in the last year which could have adversely affected his grades, his teachers continue to support him.

I am the mother of a child classified as profoundly gifted. I knew ILS was the right school when the principal said 'God gave her a lot of gifts. It's up to us to help her learn to use them.'. ILS was the only school I talked to that was willing to work with me to meet the needs of my daughter, to think

We have four girls at ILS. My eldest children have gone to this school since PK. It is our 8th year here. I cannot think of a better place to have my children. The family atmosphere is beneficial to all involved. The teachers know the children well, and the families get to know each other also.

The hidden gem, that's what we call this place. Want your kids to grow in a Christian environment, surrounded by teachers, administrators and other families with the same Christian values. This place isn't about talking the talk, but walking the walk. It's great when your kids are so grounded in their

My only negative comment is that the school only goes through 8th grade. Very challenging curriculum far exceeding what we experienced in the County Schools.

I am a student that at this time is in 8th grade and have been here since PK4. This is an awesome school with fun extracurricular activities like soccer, basketball, volleyball, track, and we even have plays! There are also youth groups where kids 6th-8th grade get to go have fun with there friends.

The teachers are hard working and really helpful to the students that dont get what we are doing. Also the sixth grade teacher is 'funny' but mainly all her jokes are corny. LOL! But this school is definately a school you would want to send your child to if you want to surround him/her with a God loving friendly enviroment were he/she could make friends in the first hour they get there.

I am a soon-to-be 8th grader at ILS, and I think that the school is phenomenal! The homework is rigorous, but not so much that you can't do after school activities. I'm very athletic, and their athletic program certainly didn't disappoint me. The teachers are hard-working individuals that care about

And I couldn't ask for more parental involvement. The fine arts program is ok. We do musicals, Christmas programs, and 5th and 6th graders have a choir. Also 1st-4th graders have a cute little choir. The teachers definitely don't take any crap from kids. The principal is one of the best I've ever had. My mom is in love with this school. This school definitely gets an A++! Read less

ILS is a wonderful school to send your child to. The staff is incredibly dedicated and nurturing. There is a lot of involvement between teachers and parents working together to help ensure each child's success. You couldn't ask for a healthier, academically Christian School than Immanuel Lutheran,

This is such a great school! I sent my second child here for preschool and only wish that I would have known about it when my first child was preschool age. I am now looking forward to being able to send my third child to ILS. The teachers and the administration are just fabulous!
