List of Lutheran schools in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lutheran schools in the United States are educational institutions set up under or affiliated with various Lutheran denominations. These synods are not affiliated with each other and vary in their doctrinal beliefs. Most Lutheran schools in the United States are associated with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS), or the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), though there are several which are associated with other Lutheran denominations such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC), and the Church of the Lutheran Confession (CLC). Lutheran schools generally attempt to place practicing Lutherans and practicing Christians of other Christian traditions first in enrollments. This is in contrast to other Christian educational institutions, such as Anglican schools, which take into account other non-religious criteria.
