Parkland Lutheran School 3.82

PARKLAND LUTHERAN SCHOOL:

- CHRISTIAN -
We teach our students that Jesus is their Savior. He lived a perfect life in their place and died for all their sins. He did this because of His great love for all and because of His desire that everyone be in heaven with Him. We know this wonderful message from the Bible, which is God’s Word. Our goal as a Christian school is to help our students understand the Christian faith and to train them to be productive and responsible citizens.

- CLASSICAL -
With the 2008-2009 school year, Parkland Lutheran began using a classical model
for education. This method focuses on three developmental stages of children:
- Grammar: Students learn the building blocks of subjects;
- Logic: Students learn how that information fits together;
- Rhetoric: students learn how to put their knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to use.

- CREDIBLE -
Parkland Lutheran School opened in 1894, just five years after Washington became a state. It was organized by the Rev. Bjug Harstad, who also founded Pacific Lutheran University. Parkland Lutheran School is accredited by the State of Washington. We are also a member of The Evergreen Lutheran School System (TELSS), an association of schools partnered with Evergreen Lutheran High School (www.elhs.org).

- COMMITTED -
The faculty and staff of Parkland Lutheran School are committed to providing a quality, Christ-centered education. We offer a personalized education that fosters the strengths and talents of each individual. We do this by using tried and true methodologies of the past to teach skills that will be useful in the future. We offer enhanced learning through online courses, as well as offering a state of the art computer lab. Other opportunities available to our students include: soccer, basketball, handbells, band and piano lessons, forensics, and theater.
