Why Finland?
Over the course of the past two decades, the Finnish education has consistently led the world in reading and mathematics and has continually outperformed the struggling American education system. So the key questions is, how? The Harvard education professor Howard Gardner once advised Americans, “Learn from Finland, which has the most effective schools and which does just about the opposite of what we are doing in the United States.”

Testimonials
“The preschool class is so much more than a typical ‘daycare’ program. My son was able to both PLAY and learn in a God centered environment. The teachers and staff become like a second family.”
“Life Lutheran School provides an education in grade school curriculum as well as the Word of God. My child is learning in a nurturing Christian environment where teachers and staff care about his intellectual and spiritual education and well-being.””
“Lord of Life is an answered prayer for our family. This school is a family led by teachers and administration who genuinely care and love the students. Lord of Life is the perfect combination of the intimacy and flexibility of homeschool and benefits of traditional schooling. Christian values are weaved into everything they do including devotionals during morning time and acting out bible stories during “Word of God” in the afternoons. They accommodate each child’s needs on an individual basis while keeping close communication with parents. My son had grown exponentially since beginning Lord of Life this fall. I had no idea such an incredible schooling environment existed until now and we are so blessed because of it. ”
