Welcome to Grace Lutheran School!


Welcome to Grace Lutheran School! We’re delighted that you’re considering our school and summer camp program for your child’s education and growth!


We are grateful for your interest and honored that you are considering joining our school family. Please note that while submitting an application is a vital first step in our admissions process, it does not guarantee a seat for your child. Each year, we prioritize our enrollment capacity based on our current families who re-enroll, as they hold the first right of refusal.

Additionally, for students entering grades K through 8, admission testing is part of our process and helps us determine the best placement and progression in the admissions journey.

We kindly remind families that the $100 application fee is non-refundable. We approach each application with prayerful consideration, and our hope is to welcome students who will flourish academically, spiritually, and socially within our Christ-centered environment. Thank you for entrusting us with this important step in your child's educational journey. We look forward to walking this path together in His love and grace.



For summer camp inquiries, click the application link above to create an account. Then, under the "Grace Lutheran Church and School Summer Camp" tab, select your child's current grade. 

Please note: Grace Lutheran School accepts summer camp applications for children in grades Pre-K2 through 5th grade only.

Since its founding in 1974 as a mission outreach of Grace Lutheran Church, Grace Lutheran School has been committed to nurturing each child’s personal relationship with Jesus Christ and supporting their growth—socially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually—as unique children of God. We focus on providing academic excellence while instilling a Christian faith that impacts all areas of life. Our certified teachers, medium class sizes, and competitive curriculum create an enriching and supportive environment for all our students.

At Grace Lutheran School, we strive to empower our students to:

  • GROW in the love of Christ, building wisdom, knowledge, and character.
  • LEARN in the love of Christ through high educational standards and collaboration with families.
  • SUCCEED in the love of Christ, serving as leaders in church and community.

Today, we proudly offer a reputation for providing Christian education with a stimulating curriculum in a warm, encouraging environment. Accredited by both the National Lutheran Schools Association and the Middle States Association, GLS maintains exceptional academic standards. Our experienced teachers hold degrees and certifications within their fields, and we challenge each child to excel as they develop academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Our school is organized into three sections: preschool (Pre-K2, Pre-K3, Pre-K4), elementary (K-5th), and middle school (6th-8th). We operate on a trimester schedule, offering a well-rounded experience that supports each stage of a child's growth.

  • West Virginia University
