Lutheran High School bases its philosophy of education upon the Holy Scriptures as the Word of God which centers on Jesus Christ and upon the Lutheran Confessions. Our goal is to provide a safe family atmosphere so that students have the opportunity to find identity, meaning, purpose, and power for their lives in Jesus, their Lord and Savior (II Peter 3:18). Christian education is designed to help the students live our their faith in unselfish Christian service. The primary purpose, then, becomes how to live their lives, not merely how to earn a living. In this unique educational environment all knowledge and learning is viewed as potential channels for God's power and grace. The curriculum of Lutheran High School is designed to meet the needs of the students and is founded in the Gospel of Christ. The curriculum is designed to equip students spiritually, intellectually, and physically. Students are challenged to make thoughtful Christian decisions and take positive Christian action as they live as people of God.

Mission Statement
Empowered by God, Lutheran High School, Springfield, IL, builds a Christ-centered family to equip students spiritually, intellectually, and physically for service to God and society.
-We believe that God wants each person to use the talents and gifts he has been given for His glory and our good.
-We believe that teaching the spiritual dimension to life is primarily the responsibility of the parent, and they are assisted by the church.
-We believe that the spiritual dimension to life (who I am, why am I here, who is God and what does he want of me) is most effectively understood when applied in conjunction with other academic subjects and in social interrelationships.
-We believe that the teenage years are periods of struggles with temptations, identity, individuality, self worth, family interrelationships, maturity, responsibility, and sexuality, all of which have a spiritual dimension.
-We believe that Lutheran High School is an extension of the congregation, providing a specialized program, and desiring to better equip Christian youth to be effective Christian citizens.
-We believe that the primary responsibility of Lutheran High School is to provide a quality Christ centered education through which the Holy Spirit can effectively move within the heart of the teens entrusted to our care.
