Philosophy

The Lutheran School Association of Cole Camp has as its guiding principle Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” LSA, in clearly proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel, holds to the historic tenants of Faith Alone, Grace Alone, and Scripture Alone as explained in God’s Word. LSA is dedicated to offering to all students, no matter what their background:

  • A Christ centered education at the center of everything
  • A Curriculum built on the foundation of God’s Word
  • Training and resource to witness for Christ and make God-pleasing choices
  • A passion for reaching top academic excellence and scholarly curiosity
  • A foundation of quality character development based on Biblical Principals

 

Our Mission

The Lutheran School Association of Cole Camp is committed to equipping disciples of Jesus Christ by providing a Christ-centered education so that its students, firmly grounded in God’s Word, may demonstrate and share God’s grace in their lives at home, at school, and in our community.

 

Vision

LSA is the standard of excellence in Christian Education.

 

Your Choice

At the Lutheran School Association, we believe that every child is a gift from God our Father. Parents are called to make decisions and prepare their children for the world around them and for the world to come. Providing a child with the highest quality and complete education possible is one of the most life altering decisions that a parent will make for their children. The most complete education includes not only strong science, history, language arts, math, social studies, humanities, technology and other areas, but it must be founded in Christ. At the Lutheran School Association, Jesus Christ stays at the center of all things.

  • YOU have the desire to choose the foundations for your child.
  • YOU want your child to learn core Christian values and character development.
  • YOU want your child to succeed spiritually, academically, and personally.
  • YOU want a voice in the experiences of your child’s educational development.

 

Their Future

The Lutheran School Association strives to develop caring servant leaders in school and beyond. This is the focus when making decisions about curriculum, programs, and experiences for our students. Here, students learn what Jesus has done for them, so they can embody that same love and become leaders in the community. Children who learn to live in service to God and others are prepared to achieve great accomplishments in the future.
