Enrolling Your Child
To enroll your child in Word of Life Lutheran School, you need to set up a meeting with the principal.
Call 281-7808 for more information or to set up an enrollment visit.
The school handbook fully describes the simple enrollment process which is meant to begin the partnership between school and family. We are here to assist you in the education and discipleship of your child. An open, personal relationship with the principal and your child's teacher will begin that process.

Student Testing for Grade Placement
Children will generally be admitted to any grade upon the receipt of the permanent record showing successful completion of the earlier grades in the previous school attended. However, Word of Life Lutheran School reserves the right to determine a different grade placement if personal observation and / or testing warrant it. This would be done in full consultation with the child’s parents. Word of Life also reserves the right during the year to discuss with parents a different grade placement for a child having difficulty at his / her current grade level.
