Emanuel Lutheran School

Welcome to Our Family

The most important aspect of our school is children. We enjoy watching them grow and develop as they continue through the years with us. Our small class sizes allow us to personally know each child and his or her family.

We Love to Learn

One of our primary objectives is to instill in children the ability to learn effectively. We firmly believe that, despite being a challenging task, learning can be an enjoyable experience.

Loved by the Lord

All people are redeemed children of God, who have heaven as an inheritance. Our students know their purpose in life—thanking God, serving others with their gifts, and sharing that purpose with others.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Philippians 4:4-8

Mission and Purpose:

Emanuel Lutheran School assists the church to reach, teach, and disciple families in Christ.

“Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” This is God’s directive and promise from Proverbs 22:6. For over 100 years, families from the New London area have looked to Emanuel Lutheran School to assist in drawing their children into an ever-closer relationship with Jesus. ELS exists to assist in carrying out this directive by partnering with parents in raising the next generation to know Jesus.

Our school is committed to maintaining a culture of excellence and continuous improvement. To achieve this, we create and evaluate three-year goals and one-year strategic plans, which are available for review in the school office. These plans are implemented with the aim of advancing our objectives.

We do this by

Teaching the life-changing message of Jesus
Assisting students in developing a deep, personal, and enduring relationship with Christ, as faithful followers for life
Collaborating with families as partners in education
Cherishing every child as a distinctive individual, who is a divine blessing
Nurturing students to develop as faithful and dedicated followers of the Savior
Imparting the resilience of Christian ethics and morals
Offering occasions for students to apply their learning
Establishing a secure and organized atmosphere to enhance learning
Utilizing age-appropriate and research-backed instruction and curriculum to equip and ready students

“We are humble, bold, and different for a purpose.”

“If you call on the Father who judges impartially, according to the work of each person, conduct yourselves during the time of your pilgrimage in reverence, because you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, not with things that pass away, such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like a lamb without blemish or spot. He was chosen before the foundation of the world but revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.” -1 Peter 1:17-21
