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 nearly 2,200 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, loved and equally valued.  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. 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.

Together, the Class of 2024 was accepted into 275 different colleges and universities including Concordia University, Baylor, Morehouse College, Pepperdine, Alabama, Clark Atlanta, Texas A&M, Oregon, Colorado, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Gonzaga, UCLA, UNLV, Duke, Seton Hall, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Penn State, Colorado School of Mines, Fordham, Nevada Reno, Michigan, William & Mary, USC, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical, New York University, Washington and Lee, Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Syracuse, SMU, Harvey Mudd College, Grand Canyon, US Air Force Academy, United States Naval Academy, Vanderbilt, and Villanova - just to name a few. The Class of 2024 secured tens of millions of dollars in college scholarship. In the past five years, Faith graduates can be found in hundreds of different colleges and universities in all 50 states and multiple foreign nations.  The average ACT score for the Class of 2024 was 22; one student earned a perfect 36.  Our SAT averages for the Class of 2024 were 602 in Evidenced Based Reading and Writing and 584 in Mathematics. 

36 Honors and 25 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.  89% 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 a staggering 210 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 every zip code in the valley to attend Faith Lutheran every year. We love welcoming new families into the growing 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/Shuirman Tennis Complex and the Oder Family Aviation Academy and Room were completed.  Our strategic plan now calls for adding an office addition onto our main office building to be completed by the spring of 2025, and we are scheduled to break ground this year on a new two story STEM building which is slated to open in August 2026.  

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 young people 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.
