The journey toward Lutheran classical school accreditation is a rigorous process that reflects a school's dedication to academic excellence and spiritual formation. Today, we proudly recognize four schools that have met the high standards set by the Consortium for Classical Lutheran Education (CCLE) through the Marks of a Classical Lutheran School. These schools demonstrate a strong commitment to nurturing students in faith, knowledge, and virtue.

The CCLE's Marks of a Classical Lutheran School


The CCLE’s Marks of a Classical Lutheran School provide a clear framework for schools seeking Lutheran classical school accreditation. These marks focus on four key areas:


  • Christ-Centered Teaching

Schools must integrate the Gospel into every subject and aspect of school life. This means that students not only learn academic content but also understand it through the lens of Lutheran theology.


  • Classical Curriculum

The curriculum follows the classical model of the trivium: grammar, logic, and rhetoric. This approach develops critical thinking, clear communication, and a deep understanding of language and ideas.


  • Institutional Governance

The school establishes and enforces rules, regulations, and responsibilities and operates with sound fiscal discipline and accountability.


  • Ongoing Improvement

The school has a strategy to evaluate all aspects of its classical Lutheran education, with procedures to continuously improve.
