Mission Statement
"Lincoln Lutheran exists to equip young people to be faithful disciples of Christ
by providing an excellent, Christ-centered education." --(Adopted 2-02)

Philosophy of Education

It is the philosophy of the Lincoln Lutheran Middle/High School that the education provided for its students will be, above all else, Christ-centered and Christian-based. Christian education is an outgrowth of the "Great Commission", which Christ has given to His church. Each child is a gift from God, and should be educated in a loving but disciplined Christian environment.

The Christian school serves as a partner with parents in assisting them in the Christian education of their children, a task that is recognized as the parent's primary responsibility. The standard of measurement in defining our school will be the Word of God and the doctrines, teachings and practices of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod as drawn from that Word.

The Purpose of Belief Statements

Lincoln Lutheran Middle/High School is a Christian school. It was established by Lincoln area LCMS Lutheran churches in an effort to provide a loving environment where the Gospel will be taught and lived in all curricular and extra-curricular situations so that its students may be able to live the Christian life now and through eternity.

Our standards are not those of this world. They are in harmony with Scripture, and designed as a reflection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. These guidelines were designed through the direction of the Holy Spirit knowing that human rationale and philosophy will only mislead us.

The Faculty and Staff of Lincoln Lutheran

Every person who works at Lincoln Lutheran is a Christian who has a dedication to his or her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The faculty and staff have a sincere desire to assist in the academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth of each and every young person led by God to be a part of the Lincoln Lutheran ministry. Each teacher is certified by the State of Nebraska to teach and is competent in his/her area.

Accreditation

Lincoln Lutheran Middle/High School is accredited by the State of Nebraska through the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE). Credits earned at Lincoln Lutheran are transferable to any other school. Lincoln Lutheran is also accredited through National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA).

Funding the Lincoln Lutheran Ministry

The majority of funding to support Lincoln Lutheran Middle/High School comes from tuition charged to students. Therefore, tuition is a major financial commitment for families with students at Lincoln Lutheran. The Lincoln Lutheran School Association, an Association of nine local LCMS churches, is the governing body for the school and supplements the remaining ministry costs through annual assessments based on church membership. These Association churches also provide tuition subsidy for their member families with students at Lincoln Lutheran. Lincoln Lutheran makes every attempt to be a good steward of the resources entrusted to us and to function in a financially responsible manner. It becomes vital that our families also regard this stewardship as a high priority and remain in good financial standing.

Racially Non-discriminatory Policy

Lincoln Lutheran Middle/High School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. Lincoln Lutheran does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Lincoln Lutheran may give preference in admissions to members of LCMS Lutheran congregations.
