Apostles Lutheran School-Wisconsin Synod

Why I LOVE Apostles Lutheran School…
Because Apostles actually CARES about your kids. The teachers LOVE what they do, and are passionate about teaching. Every teacher gives 100% of their individual time, their day, and their life to the kids. Apostles teachers don’t just show up in the morning and leave in the afternoon, they participate in school activities after school, and on the weekends. They make themselves highly available to parents and encourage communication with them.
The Apostles faculty includes well seasoned teachers with 30 years of experience as well as young teachers with new ideas. My kids come home excited about stuff, and trying new things with music or telling stories about entertaining teachers.
Apostles teachers are in control of their classrooms, and they run like clockwork. Kids thrive on this structure and routine. Discipine is handled in a firm and logical manner, and kids respond. No rumors of fights on the playground or any ‘he said she said’. It all gets nipped in the bud from the start, and that takes care and attention. No other faculty in the bay area can compare to the dedicated teachers of Apostles Lutheran.
Apostles has an abundance of extracurricular activities for students, so many in fact it is impossible to participate in them all; from sports like basketball, flag football, intramurals, track and field, to instrumental music lessons, chess club, and fall or spring musical productions. Kids get to go on several fun field trips per year. Education here is well rounded. Children are evaluated in math and reading and placed in classes that challenge them. Class sizes are small averaging 15 – 20 per class and many upper grade classes have been together since kindergarten. My kids have great friends and are proud to be Eagles (the school mascot).
Some might shy away from choosing Apostle’s Lutheran School because of their Bible based foundation. I on the other hand chose it for that very reason. I want my children to learn how to make good moral decisions for themselves and their own families in the future and the best way to do that is to «Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.» Proverbs. 22:6 NIV Bible

From an Apostles teacher:
We value every parent’s opinion. We thank you so much for taking the time to write a well written and well versed response to our school. However, let me address Mr. Ken B’s review. Unfortunately there are some rather erroneous claims made, bordering on slander. Our Divine Call process is taken very seriously as well as our children’s safety. The call list itself comes from the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod’s (WELS) database of teachers on file. When a congregation across the US has a specific need they will put in a request to the district president. From there the calling body receives a list of five candidates. The congregation then votes on whom they would choose based on the criteria listed. The candidate may choose to accept or decline after a prayerful period of consideration. There is no favoritism. It is like any resume: who is most qualified? We strive for excellence in everything we do while prayerfully considering the proper and most beneficial course of action to take. We provide a well balanced Christian education, not a cult-​like classroom. We are Accredited and follow Common Core and CA State Standards. Our students take the same standardized tests that the public school children do, and they excell. I invite anyone to come on our campus and observe any classroom and our excellent teaching staff. So before false accusations and borderline slandering statements are made and believed; I would ask that if you’re looking for a great school that you give us a chance! We love our kids. Mr. Ken B. we loved your kids and we miss them. God’s blessings on your children’s continuing educational careers. We want nothing but success for them! To anyone reading this, God bless your day!

Really great environment for learning. My four kittens love this school. Fantastic education.

An amazing school is all I have to say. Student to teacher ratio is where it needs to be so that the kids get proper attention. The principal, teachers, and pastors are all wondrful. My son has blossomed over the past year thanks in part to Apostles. I can never imagine sending my son to a public school after witnessing how smoothly things go here. Mrs Crofts is in charge of the Pre-​k (K-​1) class and it’s a joy to watch how well she cares for each of her kids and is the sweetest person you will meet! They have an after school care program for parents who work, I think only $ 4.25 per hour. I highly reccommend this private church-​based school to anyone looking to set their child on the right path to success.
