Concordia Lutheran School

My sister goes to Giese. And she loves that school..she comes form school everyday with a happy face. The staff are great to both student and family.

This was my sons first year (4K) at SCJ. I was nervous as a parent not sure of what to expect but I soon found out that I had nothing to worry about. I loved his Teacher and so did my son the kids were great and I'm proud to say I love SCJ:)

My daughter has had a wonderful time here, from Kindergarten to 5th grade. The teachers she's had have been open and nurturing. Some were even easy to follow throughout the day with their online programs. From learning to play the violin, to really cool field trips, and the fun after school events (Mad Scientist is her favorite), the school offers more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. Don't let the school rating from this site discourage you. The parent-teacher connection here is strong and my daughter leaves this school with an "A" average and an amazing outlook on her education ahead. P.S. breakfast and lunch is free for all students.

The school is nice and I've only have good things to say about all the teachers my kids have had but they both have mentioned being bullied throughout the years. Talking with other parents the bullying seems to be the biggest concern with them as well

I am so impressed with the way that behavioral challenges which is something that society is met with everywhere and everyday is handled here. Renaissance offers such a reflective, responsive, and intentional approach on each individual situation and is always evolving to find new ways to meet scholars needs. Each situation when brought to administrations attention is handled with such care, thought, and thoroughness which is something you don't often see. It is impressive that their motto this year of "Being the Bean" is encompassed even behind the scenes as they show that in the midst of adversity, you can change your environment by being positive and having Growth Mindset rather than being an egg and becoming hardened to your environment or being the carrot and becoming weak to your environment. The analogies that help to put life into perspective and make scholars stronger each and every day is admirable to say the very least. It cannot be easy to be doing the very best every single day and ensuring scholars have the best education possible and are exposed to such significant character growth all while working with difficult situations but Renaissance does this with ease. Kudos to you Renaissance! It is my prayer, hope, and dream that everyone sees everyday that strength in numbers and having the Growth Mindset that you teach is the way to make the world a better place! Thank you for all that you do!!
