Education
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod believes education should address the whole person — body, mind and spirit — beginning in early childhood and continuing through higher education.
School Ministry
Through early childhood programs, elementary schools and high schools, the congregations of the LCMS are dedicated to providing a solid Lutheran Christian education for our children by operating the largest Protestant parochial school system in America.
