Immanuel Lutheran Church & School School Visitor Information

Immanuel Lutheran School

Immanuel prepares children to both compete and build community. We are fully accredited by the National Lutheran School Accreditation as well as the National Federation of Non-Public Schools. A sizable percentage of the past valedictorians at Washington High School have been graduates of our school. We welcome you to visit our school and talk with Nick or the teachers about enrolling your child in our preschool, prekindergarten, kindergarten or any of the eight grades.

Mr. Nick Hopfensperger serves as principal at Immanuel Lutheran School. He helps teachers and parents prepare their children academically, socially, and spiritually for living out their faith in their family and in the secular world.

New Reading Curriculum Series

ILS teachers came in over their summer vacation to meet and discuss our plans for a new reading curriculum for next school year. After reviewing four curriculum series, we have decided to go with Treasures as the new reading series for children in Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade. This series by Macmillan / McGraw-Hill will be all-inclusive and cover reading, spelling, vocabulary, and handwriting. In addition to Treasures, students in Kindergarten through 8th grade will continue to utilize Shurley English for grammar instruction. We are truly excited about this new curriculum for our Language Arts program and are sure you will like the results!

Summer Enrichment Classes

Immanuel Lutheran School will once again be offering Summer Enrichment Courses.  Does your child like Curious George? Do they love science? Would you like to help develop your child’s volleyball skills? We have these and many other summer enrichment classes for children going into 1st through 6th grade. These classes are open to all children – current ILS students and those from the church and the community! Information packets and registration forms for these classes are available by clicking here or by contacting the school office at (636) 239-1636.

Children's Relay for Life

Students at ILS raised over $575 in support of the Children’s Relay for Life!  Students had the opportunity to purchase Capri Sun drinks, luminary bags, paper chains, and purchase tickets to wear shorts and flip-flops! Pictured are children in 3rd through 6th grade showcasing their classroom paper chains. Students will participate in the Children’s Relay for Life on Friday as they show their support of this great cause!
