Gloria Dei Lutheran School is a concentrated response to Christ’s Word, “Suffer the little children to come unto me…” and “As you have done it to the least of these, you have done it unto me…” This school’s ministry is both an expression of God’s loving care and an example of how education and child care are best implemented. We, as Christians, are Christ’s hands, minds, voices, and hearts in the world. Children come to Gloria Dei Lutheran School as a sacred trust. Parents place the lives of their children directly into our care, trusting that we will demonstrate in deed who we say we are — the people of God — sensitively aware, lovingly caring, and creatively positive, all with the consistency of faithfulness.
The guiding philosophy of Gloria Dei Lutheran School is to build on the natural excitement for learning that a child normally demonstrates. This school believes that the child’s process of educational, physical, emotional, social, and religious growth can best be met by providing a Christian learning environment through teachers who have the capacity for loving and learning with their children. Our teachers are called upon to identify the child’s “growing edges” and to stimulate, but not force, the students growth.
