OUR MISSION IS TO CULTIVATE SERVANT LEADERS
Mission
“They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor” (Isaiah 61:3b NIV).
It is the mission of First Lutheran Classical School first and foremost to assure its students and their families that they are redeemed by Christ, have value in His sight and are loved by Him. Since they are of value to God it is their duty to fully develop their God-given faculties to glorify God and serve their fellow man. To effect this end, FLCS will provide an excellent academic program founded on the Word of God to facilitate the emergence of the new person in mind, body, spirit, and character.
Motto
Our identity is summarized in these words:
Crescentes In Fide Et Sapientia
Growing in Faith and Wisdom
Vision
“All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work”
(2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV).
We acknowledge that each student is uniquely made with individual value and self-worth. Preparing them for a vocation and helping them discover what the Lord has planned for their lives will facilitate the emergence of the new person – one who exemplifies:
- Confidence
- Scriptural literacy
- Truth & discernment
- Empathy
- Critical thinking
- Life-long learning
- Effective communication
- Servant leadership
- Worship life
- Joyfulness
- A sense of wonder
Teaching method
Classical education is a developmental method of teaching children mastery of all subjects that begins with the fundamentals, builds to integration of knowledge, and culminates in eloquent and creative expression.
Character counts
Our school's mission, culture, teachers, curriculum, manner of teaching, parental influence, and faith formation culminate in the development of servant leaders well-prepared to pursue any endeavor for which they have a passion. This spirit of service is intentionally cultivated as the school regularly reaches into the community to volunteer for organizations such as the Missoula Food Bank, Meals on Wheels, Ronald McDonald House, and Village Health Care. The community welcomes our friendly children and their display of faith active in love.
