Our Story

Christ Community Lutheran School began with a shared vision—local Lutheran congregations working together to give children a rich, Christ-centered education. Located right here in Almena, CCLS is a place where families and churches grow together in faith and learning.

What Is Classical Lutheran Education?

Classical Lutheran education is not just a model of learning—it’s a way of forming the next generation to live faithfully in Christ and serve their neighbor with wisdom, courage, and conviction. Rooted in the rich heritage of the Lutheran Reformation, classical education embraces the tools of grammar, logic, and rhetoric to teach students how to think, not just what to think. This aligns deeply with the Lutheran understanding of vocation, truth, and the life of the mind—formed by the Word of God and guided by the Lutheran Confessions.
