Our Philosophy & Classroom Structure
Our Philosophy & Classroom Structure
Our elementary school classrooms are blended classrooms, which means that two grade levels meet together and share one teacher. Classroom teachers are assisted by paraprofessionals or another teacher to make sure that all students get excellent, one-on-one attention.
Faith Lutheran School's philosophy believes that participatory, hands-on education is essential, so students are exposed to a variety of learning styles and interactive experiences, including field trips, outdoor education, regular physical activity outside of structured P.E. classes, and creative projects throughout the school year.
