Lutheran schools and colleges are private, Christian schools. They have been providing high quality education to children across Australia since the mid-1800s. According to Lutheran Education Queensland:
Our aim is to encourage and support students, informed and sustained by the Word of God, to develop their God-given talents so that they may shape and enrich their world.
If this sounds like a good fit for your family and your child, then you should consider the option of a Lutheran education at one of the many Lutheran schools and colleges around Brisbane.
The Benefits of a Lutheran School or College
Lutheran schools or colleges are owned and operated by the Lutheran Church. They are all part of well organised system that is supported at regional and national levels. The Lutheran school system has a long history, operating schools in Australia since 1839. The schools are all co-educational schools, and they aim to be accessible and affordable.
The schools have a strong religious belief system and their education is underpinned by God’s word as revealed in the Bible. In Lutheran schools, each student is seen as a unique individual created by God, and the schools develop their desire to live useful lives for the good of others. The schools promote Christian growth and development, with regular worship and devotions and Lutheran Education’s own Christian Studies curriculum.
While the education at Lutheran schools is Christ centred, their student population is diverse and includes children of all faiths and denominations.
Lutheran schools provide a warm, caring and safe environment and community. They aim to provide excellent standards of teaching, as well as quality co-curricular activities. They aim to work as a team with parents, and to also be a part of the wider community.
