Wachter Middle School

Our experience with Martin Luther School has been nothing short of amazing. The school’s commitment to a Lutheran classical education is evident in its rigorous academics, emphasis on critical thinking, and dedication to a Christ-centered approach to learning. Students are immersed in a curriculum that fosters a deep understanding of literature, history, mathematics, and the arts, all while being rooted in biblical truth and the rich traditions of the Lutheran faith.What truly sets MLS apart, however, is its focus on relationships. The teachers and staff genuinely care about each student. The small class sizes create an environment where students feel valued and heard, fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.Additionally, the school actively builds a strong community by involving families in the educational process. Parents are welcomed as partners, and communication between home and school is open, thoughtful, and intentional. Whether through parent-teacher meetings, family events, chapel services, or volunteer opportunities, there is a strong sense of collaboration and shared purpose.If you are looking for a school that upholds academic excellence within a Christ-centered, classical framework while nurturing meaningful relationships, MLS is an outstanding choice. It is a place where students not only grow intellectually but also develop strong character and faith, preparing them to thrive in all areas of life.

Excellent educational experience. I grew up in the "public school" setting and would highly recommend St. Mary's over the public schools. Invest in your kids and give them the best education to give them a leg up on their future. I see how much further my kids are than their public school friends and wished I would have had their "experience"!!! Adsolutely LOVE St. Mary's!!!

Cathedral Elementary School is a beautiful family. From the amazing custodian you’ll greet in the hallways, Mr. Kevin, to the first face you meet at the office, Mrs. Bauer, to the new principal, Mr. Silbernagel, who’s seen wandering and chatting in the cafeteria at lunch, you will definitely feel a part of this community. Having moved to Bismarck, I was so encouraged by the engaged community of parents and opportunities to be involved. I love the Friday Mass with families and the special ways they include Fr. Ehli and the other priests. I also feel Cathedral is constantly striving to be even better and is always trying to find ways to improve the academic, social /emotional, recreational opportunities for each kiddo all while having a renewed commitment to a stronger Catholic identity and to the spiritual well being of everyone in the building. We feel so blessed to be a part of this school, community and family.
