Our Mission

Centered in Christ, Journeys Lutheran School prepares students with unique learning challenges to maximize their God given spiritual, academic, emotional, physical and social potential.

Educational Philosophy

Journeys Lutheran School provides quality education for children with learning difficulties in a Lutheran school environment.

  • We believe all children have been blessed with special gifts and abilities, and as part of the body of Christ, each has a specific purpose for the benefit and gain of the whole body. 

  • We believe we have the responsibility to work with each child wherever he or she is academically, socially, and emotionally. 

  • We believe it is our responsibility to advocate for our students and families for services needed for the child.  

  • We believe more children should have the opportunity to attend a Lutheran School. 

  • We believe God is giving us unique opportunities to work with our students and families. 

  • We believe it is our responsibility to find opportunities to share the love of Jesus to our students and families.

Verse: Philippians 1:6 — “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.”

Individualized Growth

We cultivate a loving, supportive environment where students, staff, and families care for one another.
