Providing a Christ-centered education for grades 4K-8, preparing students for a life of service to God and others

Since 1982 First Lutheran School has nurtured God’s children with his wonderful message and provided an excellent academic education. Everything we do is centered on the love of Christ. Teachers and students model Christian love throughout the day and incorporated it into every subject and in every activity. We focus on teaching the whole person - spirit, mind, and body.

Our fully accredited school produces graduates who are well-prepared for high school and the world beyond. Our teachers are certified by the WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod), the 4th largest private/parochial system in the United States. Our teachers have over 150 years of experience in the teaching ministry and have benefited from serving in several other WELS schools. They continue to hone their skills and abilities through ongoing education and professional development.

Emilie L. - 4th Grade

“I love my school! It’s a safe place and I have tons of friends. My teachers are very nice and make it fun. I know God loves me!”

Leah B. - 7th Grade Parent

“First Lutheran is amazing. The staff is made up of the most dedicated teachers I know and it's because of their love and dedication to the Lord.  I know my son is not only getting an excellent education but, in all aspects, he is being shown the love of Christ and taught to share that love with others. That's something you won't find in a public school.”

High Quality is High Priority

We are an exemplary accredited school through Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod School Accreditation (WELSSA) which is fully recognized by the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA).

Test scores are not the only measure of student success but are useful as a benchmark. Our students have consistently scored higher than their peers within the local school districts and across the state as a whole.

Educating Well Rounded Individuals

We provide students the opportunity to discover learning outside of the classroom walls. Each class travels around Wisconsin on multiple field trips each year. Students can participate in cooking club, forensics meets, VEX robotics, science/art fairs, talent nights, and more.

Other students use their athletic skills in volleyball, soccer, basketball, cheerleading, cross country/track, or basketball.

Musicians can develop their talents with our band and piano lessons. Students can also participate in our student choirs, handbells, or musicals.
