Concordia Lutheran School

Phenomenal school. We have been "wowed" by the teaching and parent community.

Our daughter has been at U-Coop for Pre-K and we've been super impressed with the program and community. We enrolled our daughter to get her more social exposure as well to transition her to a classroom environment.The teachers are qualified and purposeful, yet friendly and laid back. They started introducing the incoming class to the environment during the application process (yes, it started there - purposeful!) as well as at the start of the year. While Pre-K is "student led", it's clear from the daily communication that the teachers proactively use student-chosen topics as a foothold to engage various "hard" topics like science, reading, and math. The teachers were also super empathetic and helpful when we had some behavioral things happen during the year.The community has also been great. Compared to our past schools, U Coop stands out in how parents willingly engage with each other and welcome new families. As it's a coop, there are plenty of opportunities to engage with the entire school. There are also plenty of regular events (like all school sing on Fridays), special events (like mud fest), as well as parent organized events (like parent meet ups), and an active WhatsApp group for each class for parents to support each other. It's not one size fits all, but there's definitely a lot of options to engage depending on your style and what you can manage. I can also be working full time and not be able to go to all the events and know I'm not being judged.We are super happy here and would highly recommend the school!.
