Who We Are

Lutheran schools have a long, strong tradition of quality Christian education. Lutheran schools are sought by parents because of the academic excellence our schools have provided in our country for more than 300 years. Students receive a quality education featuring caring Christian teachers and high standards. 

When Our Savior organized in 1962 as a member congregation of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, the founders intended from the start to establish a church sponsored school. The first kindergarten class began in 1964. Since then we’ve added grade levels, students, staff, classrooms, and programs. Our enrollment of about 200 characterizes us as a small school, although we expect that enrollment to grow.



Our teachers are professionals whose training and certification marks them as “real” teachers. They are caring people. They are people who operate professionally from a foundation of their own personal Christian faith and value system. They are joined by an instructional assistant, a special education consultant, a nurse, and a child care staff. We can call on the support services of local, state, and national educational networks. 

Our students come from various backgrounds. About half of them are members of our church. The other half are from various churches, or have no church home. They live in Fenton and the surrounding areas in St. Louis and Jefferson counties. They score well above the national average on standard achievement tests and graduate well prepared for any high school. They come for various reasons, but their families have at least one thing in common. They care enough about their children’s education to make the extra commitments necessary for quality schooling.
