General Info:
Immanuel Lutheran School is accredited by the Florida-Georgia District of Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod ( LCMS ) and is also accredited by the National Lutheran School Accreditation ( LCMS ). This accreditation is recognized by the Florida Department of Education. Immanuel Lutheran School is also a member of the Florida Association of Non-Public Schools ( FAANS ) by virtue of its association with the Florida-Georgia District. The mission of Immanuel Lutheran School is to equip our students and their families to share the love, joy, and peace of Christ among themselves and with those around them. Lutheran schools are a vital source in American education. They are the cornerstone of the church's ministry of providing Christian education for children of the congregation and the community. This is a way of carrying out the command to Train up a child in the way he should go' ( Proverbs 22: 6 ) and 'bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord ( Ephesians 6: 4 ). To that end, Immanuel Lutheran Church established a school as a way of accomplishing this ministry and assisting parents in the spiritual upbringing of their children. Each child is an individual creation of God with unique talents and abilities. We recognize that because of sin our relationship with God has been broken. But God's great gift of Jesus Christ is a word of healing that puts us back into a loving, personal relationship with God. Immanuel helps people grow as whole persons in response to this Gospel message. In the school we teach God's Word, nurture students in their faith in Jesus Christ, instill Christian values, build and experience Christian community, and provide opportunities for worship and sharing of faith. Immanuel Lutheran School helps each student to grow spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically, and creatively. All curricular and extra-curricular activities are intended to help reach these goals as we strive for each student to feel a strong sense of personal worth. Our teaching of God's Word does not end with the religion period, but all of our activities attempt to show God as the Creator of the world, Jesus as the Savior of mankind, and the Holy Spirit as the producer of a climate of trust, respect, cooperation, concern, and love among teachers, parents, and students. When students leave Immanuel, we want them to be assured of their eternal salvation and better prepared to be Christian citizens.
