Discover Faith Lutheran

Welcome to our website!  We are honored that you are taking time to learn more about our amazing faculty, staff, students, and school.

Faith is the largest Lutheran school in the United States and the largest non-public school in the state of Nevada. This year, we serve more than 2,100 students in grades 6-12.  In spite of our size, we believe the core value of the "Faith Family" makes us feel small where each child is cared for and loved.  With our newly launched Faith Lutheran Online (FLO) high school, we are providing new ways for high school students to have a more flexible schedule, attend Faith Lutheran though they may live somewhere else in the world, keep tuition costs down, and/or enhance their current onground schedule.

I have great respect for the parents who choose to send their children to Faith Lutheran. The financial sacrifices they make to ensure their children are in an exemplary school are admirable - especially during these uncertain times. Our parents realize that the investment they make in their child's spiritual, academic, and extra-curricular lives will have an impact that will last a lifetime - and into eternity. Faith Lutheran is a safe, outstanding school. We are not simply a private school; we are intentionally a CHRISTian school. Daily, students learn about and experience the love and grace that God has for us through our Savior Jesus Christ.

The Class of 2023 secured MORE THAN 23 MILLION DOLLARS IN COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS. In the past five years, Faith graduates have been accepted into a staggering 438 different colleges and universities in all 50 states and multiple foreign countries. The average ACT score for the Class of 2023 was 22.5; three students earned perfect 36s.  Our SAT averages for the Class of 2023 were 612 in Evidenced Based Reading and Writing and 584 in Mathematics. 

36 Honors and 21 Advanced Placement (AP) courses strengthen our college-prep curriculum. In grades 6, 7, and 8 our Middle School boasts Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) scores in the 90th percentile compared to other schools nationwide. Advanced classes bolster a rigorous curriculum. More than 85% of our middle school students make Faith Lutheran their high school of choice; that seamless transition allows us to serve students and families for up to seven years.

Our high school offers an incredible 209 different courses from which to choose; students only take 8 classes per year so their biggest problem is often fitting in everything they want to take!

We believe that student involvement on campus after school is a vital part of the Faith Lutheran experience. Our middle school offers several drama performances each year, choir, band, handbells, football, hockey, volleyball, cross country, cheerleading, dance, wrestling, basketball, track, soccer, baseball, softball, golf, tennis, and lacrosse. Our high school offers choir, band, handbells, drama, football, hockey, volleyball, cross country, golf, cheerleading, dance, tennis, soccer, basketball, wrestling, baseball, softball, flag football, golf, track, swimming, and lacrosse. Additionally, many clubs and activities, which are located under the "Student Life" tab on our homepage, exist for our Middle School and High School students. There is indeed something for everyone at Faith Lutheran.

While stats are impressive, it's the stories of the lives that have been changed, enriched, and blessed that inspire families from around the valley to attend Faith Lutheran every year. We love welcoming new families into the Faith Family!

We invite you to visit our dynamic campus at any time. We fulfilled more promises in our BUILD FAITH capital campaign as the Peccole/Shuitman Tennis Complex and the Oder Family Aviation Academy and Room were completed.  Our strategic plan in the next few years calls for adding a STEM building and office addition.  Yet, if in a hundred years from now the campus still looks as we picture it today in the master plan, we will have, in a sense, failed.  But if future generations, based on needs we know nothing of now, physically alter this campus to better prepare and save people so that Faith Lutheran is a vital and dynamic force in the Las Vegas Valley, we will have succeeded well beyond our wildest dreams.  In the meantime, we will continue to build spaces and places for adults and kids to do their best work.

God has richly blessed us since our beginning in 1979. If there is anything I can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact me. These are indeed exciting times to be a part of Faith Lutheran. We have deep respect for our school's history and thank God for those who have gone before us as it is on their broad shoulders that we stand today, yet we firmly believe that our best years still lie ahead and look forward to God's continued grace on this place.
