Overview
St. Mark Lutheran Church started a Lutheran elementary school in September of 1984.
The elementary school is currently a two room school with classes for students from Kindergarten-8th grade.
We have two full time teachers. We also use volunteers from the congregation that allow us to give a quality Christian education. The school's primary purpose is to aid in the Christian education of the members of St. Mark Lutheran.
If space is available, children of parents who are not members may enroll.
Heartland Christian Academy is a non-denominational Christian school serving the greater Bemidji, Minnesota area. Heartland seeks to improve our community and world by providing Christ-centered academic excellence based on a Biblical worldview. Heartland encourages students and families to personally follow Jesus Christ, preparing the students to meet the challenges and needs of the world.
