At its founding and for many years after, Solomon was a parochial school, existing solely to meet the educational needs of the congregation’s children. We have since broadened our scope to include children whose families may not be members of Solomon Lutheran Church, but who are keenly interested in the values of Christian education.
The mission of Solomon Lutheran School is to provide a quality individualized education in a Christian environment. We are guided by the Fruits of the Spirit: humility, kindness, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and compassion.
We Believe:
- In teaching our children self-esteem, character, and respect for others.
- In providing a compass of love and light and teaching values that carry over into our students’ lives.
- That through individualized attention we can uncover each child’s unique talents.
- In celebrating all peoples’ gifts, traditions and unique contributions to the school, regardless of race, ethnicity or religion.
At Solomon, we educate the whole child - mind, body and spirit!
