OUR SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT Uniting hearts and hands in Jesus Christ, Risen Savior Lutheran School exists to educate children and equip parents as active life-long learners of God’s world through God’s Word.

Risen Savior Evangelical Lutheran School, located in Milwaukee’s Historic Granville community, opened in the fall of 2003 with 50 students in grades K4 to 3 and has grown to serve over 200 students in K4 to 8th grade today.

As a participant in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, Risen Savior provides an excellent educational choice for a densely populated neighborhood. In a compact geographical area populated by thousands of low-income African-American and Hispanic children under the age of 18, Risen Savior seeks to significantly increase our stabilizing presence to families by offering a Christ-centered research-based curriculum made accessible to all students by caring, talented teachers and innovative instructional methods.

The Outreach / Inclusion model of learning is built on the foundation of forgiveness found only through Jesus Christ and driven by the twin biblical principles of reaching out to "all nations" with the gospel and including "all nations" in the ministry. By continuing to cultivate and maintain a network of community allies, Risen Savior is able to more quickly and effectively succeed in its mission to neighborhood families.

In order for every child’s needs to be served, teachers operate with the idea that every child has "special needs" unique to them as an individual. The needs of the individual child are also viewed in the context of the needs of the entire family and community, requiring the faculty and staff to have a passion for ministry that can only flow from regular, intensive study of God’s Word every day. Opportunities abound for each child to succeed on their way to meeting high behavioral and academic standards.

Children are taught to evaluate their past, present, and future and view them as interconnected elements of God’s "big picture" for their lives. Applications of Basic skills and Concepts to the broader framework of each child’s life are integral to the successful climate of the school. Progress in all objectives and standards is measured by regular assessments in order to regularly and consistently inform and improve instruction to the individual student and family.

WHY ARE WE QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE A QUALITY EDUCATION?

WHAT IS THE MILWAUKEE PARENTAL CHOICE PROGRAM?
