Overview
Grace Lutheran School is preparing children in a Christ-centered education for today, tomorrow. and eternity.
The majority of our eighth-grade students matriculate into private high schools or the honors programs in our local public high schools. Many students are accepted into the International Baccalaureate (IB) program.
We believe that young children learn, in Preschool, at their own pace through play in a safe, respectful environment. As children learn about the world God created, they also learn to respect themselves and others. They learn social interaction and development, which means the children, start to become respectful citizens at an early age.
Grace Lutheran offers before and after school child care for our students.
Desert Christian Schools provides a Christian education experience for children, youth and adults in the Antelope Valley.
Physical, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual needs are met through a variety of learning opportunities.
As a result of our ministry, individuals will develop a God-centered world view with the ability to apply biblical principles to everday decisions.
