The Immanuel Lutheran School graduate is prepared for high school through academic rigor, firm study habits, and a strong confidence in their ability to succeed. They are role models for others. ILS graduates know themselves as learners and therefore have developed individual strategies for success in any academic setting. Immanuel alumni are expected to graduate at the top of their high school class. ILS graduates typically enroll in AP classes early in their high school career and several have been named valedictorian or salutatorian of their high school graduating classes.

Our graduates are prepared academically for rigorous secondary education.  They also have a firm foundation in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Little Lambs is a childcare for families who value a Christian setting for their toddler.  A four-to-one ratio is adhered to at all times for children under 3 years of age.  The children are grouped by age and developmental appropriateness in four large sunny classrooms.

The Lambs staff is trained in CPR/AED, First Aide, Medication Administration, and Epipen in addition to other in-house safety and health training.  The center follows all OEC guidelines and protocols for health and safety. Our nurse consultant is present at the center nearly every day and is always on call to advise.

Little Lambs learn through play in a structured schedule that includes playtime, storytime, Music, Art, and PE!  Sharing and being kind to friends is emphasized as the toddlers interact in small groups.  Children eat snack and lunch in the classroom at the table with their classmates and teachers.  They learn to pray before each meal, where manners and independence are encouraged.

Little Lambs families have a choice of full-week or set partial week schedules.  Hours are 6:30 AM until 5:30 PM.  Tours of the Little Lambs Learning Center are by appointment only.

Mathematics sets students apart in high school. Immanuel students have no ceiling on their math experience. all math is taught simultaneously so that younger students may move up to the math level that fits their ability.  Ability, not age, is the only requirement to enter a higher math course at Immanuel.  Language arts courses are typically offered by grade level and include personalized independent and small group expectations within each class.  Middle school science and social studies alternate on an A/B block and cover all prerequisite content for high school. Experiencing a block schedule is helpful to prepare for some of our area high schools.

Middle School students are issued chromebooks and are expected to take proper care of them. Chromebooks need to come to school hcarged and ready to use for any task the teacher may give them. Middle school teachers post all assignments and expectations in their Google Classroom. Students learn how to use this type of platform in an educational way.  While books are still a large part of the program, teachers use Google Classroom and other technology-based programs and apps to enhance the learning experience.
