For over 100 years Trinity Lutheran Church has been involved in the operation of a Lutheran Day School. In 1961, Trinity Lutheran congregation of Cole Camp, and Holy Cross and St. John's Lutheran congregations of rural Cole Camp agreed to consolidate the operation of their respective schools, and the Lutheran School Association was formed. Since all three congregations provide financial support for the school, any child who is a member of one of these congregations, may attend the school without paying tuition. Some fees may apply for the purchase of certain books, and for expenses involved with sports activities. The school also accepts students who are not members of one of the three congregations. A tuition fee is charged for these students.

The existing school building consists of six classrooms, offices, computer lab, library, kitchen and cafeteria, plus a multipurpose building with full sized gymnasium.

The LSA seeks to provide formal religious instruction as well as instruction in almost all subjects normally connected with an elementary school. In addition to providing a sound secular and religious education, the school also provides opportunities for students to engage in extra-curricular activities such as math teams and sports teams for the upper grades.
