Our philosophy
Academics have always been at the top of our educational priorities at First Lutheran School. Though we follow Tennessee’s Guidelines for Education and Core Knowledge, we take your child well beyond state standards. Our track record consistently has demonstrated success in doing so.
But it is our conviction is that no education is complete without the teachings of Jesus Christ. We see His teaching as the “crown jewel” of an outstanding education. Learning of Jesus’ wisdom and love will make your child well prepared for the world, feel safer and more secure no matter what adversities may come. The earlier children learn of His truth and mercy, the more confident they are as they grow in academics, athletics, and the arts—even into high school, college, and beyond.
Our Mission
Believing all children are created and loved by God, First Lutheran School, together with family and church, provides a quality academic structure to educate children’s spirits, minds and bodies in a Christ-centered environment, preparing them as responsible citizens for Christian service and eternal life.
First Lutheran School is a ministry of First Lutheran Church. If you don’t have a church home, we invite you to come visit and find out more about the Lutheran faith.
