Mission

Our mission at Gethsemane Lutheran School is to help our students become champions for Christ in service to Him by...

Growing in God’s Grace
Learning from His Word
Sharing Jesus’ Love

Purpose

Gethemane Lutheran School is one of approximately 1,900 Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod elementary schools worldwide.  The purpose of Gethsemane Lutheran School is to offer the members of its congregation and the surrounding community the highest quality education possible, based on the Christian values, beliefs and doctrines found in God’s Word, the Holy Bible.  This Christian instruction permeates the teaching in all subjects and activities throughout daily school life.                                                                          

Objectives

Spiritual

The students will grow in the knowledge of the Triune God and have a love for the Work of God, increasing the ability to rightly apply Law and Gospel in life.  Through faith in Jesus Christ, the Savior from sin, they are assured of forgiveness, eternal life and salvation.  This assurance of salvation is demonstrated through love and obedience to God’s Word and service to others.

Intellectual

The student will grow in cognitive or thinking skills by demonstrating the ability to function at increasingly higher levels in tasks requiring classification, seriation, spatial relations, time relation, number concepts, causality, and representation of ideas.  A variety of classroom and annual standardized testing programs are used to measure growth.

Physical

The student will develop the physical skills needed at each appropriate level through the use of games and activities.  This growth will be demonstrated through interaction both in a structured setting and in free play.

Emotional

The students will develop or maintain a healthy self-esteem as valuable children of God.  This will be demonstrated by their behaviors of self-discipline and responsibility for actions.

Social

The students will demonstrate an increasing ability to relate positively with teachers and other children.  They will recognize a need to be responsible individuals in their interactions with one another.  This can be observed as Matthew 18:15-17 is applied in the life of a student.
