St. Paul Lutheran School

We offer an accelerated Bible-based curriculum. Thank to our partnership with Lapeer Community Schools, we have certified teachers handling our art, band, vocal music, foreign language, technology and physical education programs.
Our accreditation is through the National Lutheran Schools Accreditation committee and honored by MANS, the Michigan Association of Non-Public Schools.
Our original accreditation was accomplished in 2007. Our re-accreditation was completed successfully in the spring of 2015 and 2023.
We have expanded the Childcare Center and expect to be building on to our facility within three to five years. Our school is an all-encompassing ministry because the school, Childcare Center, preschool and church are all on one campus and housed in one facility. This enables us to maintain a consistent security system for our children, parents, and staffs.
