Trinity Lutheran School was established in Atchison in 1869. Trinity Lutheran School is an integral part of the ministry of Trinity Lutheran Church.
We desire to work with children and parents who are willing to walk with us in oneness of spirit and purpose.
Our curriculum is based on A Curriculum Guide for Lutheran Elementary Schools and has been approved by the Kansas Board of Education.
To meet goals and objectives of our school, the most important subject is the teaching of the Christian faith.
A well-integrated course of Bible history, Christian doctrine, and memory work is required of every pupil.
