Tuition and Fees

Dear Parent/Guardian,

We are finishing our 130th year of educating at Parkland Lutheran School. We thank and praise God for the many blessings He has given us through the years. We are especially grateful for our parents who value a Christian education.

At Parkland Lutheran School we are committed to providing a quality, Christ-centered education. We teach our students that Jesus Christ is their Savior. He lived a perfect life in their place and died for all their sins. He did this because of His great love for all and because of His desire that everyone be saved and go to heaven. We know this wonderful message from the Bible, which is God’s Word. With this as our core we offer a personalized education that fosters the strengths and talents of each individual student. We do this by using tried-and-true methodologies of the past to teach skills that will be useful in the future. This classical model is known as the Trivium:

We are approved by the State of Washington and are also a member of The Evergreen Lutheran School System (TELSS), an association of schools partnered with Evergreen Lutheran High School (www.elhs.org). We are happy to be able to offer small class sizes, traditional values, a safe environment, and a PreK-Grade 12 education. Our goal as a Christian school is to help our students understand the Christian faith and to train them to be productive and responsible citizens.

MISSION STATEMENT:
To provide a quality, Christ-centered education
for members of our church and the surrounding community,
nurturing children to use their God-given talents
in a life of service to their Lord.

We thank you for the opportunity in assisting you in educating your child/children and for your parental support as we work together as partners in Christ to provide the best Christian education possible. Below, we have provided past student and parent testimonials as you consider Parkland Lutheran School. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions or need additional information.

We look forward to serving your family,
Brent Sorn – Principal

“Our son has appreciated the staff & kids he has come to know and looks forward to the activities (competitions) that the entire school becomes involved in, not just a select few. He also showed the initiative to be baptized during chapel last year, an opportunity that he would not have taken otherwise. The education & small class size that he is receiving cannot be duplicated elsewhere and gives him the chance to be challenged to learn instead of challenged to ignore other distractions. Our daughter became very close to her peers and has formed a bond that she will continue for the years to come. Her dad & I enjoyed her staying a “kid” longer than if she had been in a junior high setting. I appreciate the involvement that each class takes with the other grades. The older kids respect the younger ones, as the younger children learn good behavior from the older students. As a family, we have truly appreciated the opportunity in the last two years both of our children have been given. I think my husband also realizes the opportunity that he gained from attending Parkland years ago. It truly is a school of family history.”

“Parkland Lutheran is small enough that it feels like a family, but large enough that they have a variety of activities to offer students and families. Throughout the school year Parkland Lutheran has many activities to participate in, such as music lessons, the science fair, accelerated reading programs, school musicals, and plays, sports, and many others. I am very happy with the quality of education my kids have received at Parkland Lutheran, and I look forward to our family being a part of the school in the years ahead.”

“My daughter’s first year at Parkland Lutheran has been a very positive experience for her and our family. It was important to us to have a school that taught certain values and beliefs. PLS is a school that does not exclude God from their teaching but praises Him. We feel like our child’s education and well-being really matters to the Teachers and staff at PLS. And that makes a difference.”

“Parkland Lutheran School and Evergreen Lutheran High School made my good kids great!”

“Being able to attend Parkland Lutheran School was a blessing. Every teacher was so dedicated to each child’s spiritual and educational development. Learning was always much more than a boring lecture or a mundane routine. Every day held something new and exciting. I will always be grateful for the dedication and devotion of the faculty at PLS.”

“The teachers here have made a huge impact on my life, and I am very grateful for everything that they have done for me. Everyone is there for one reason; to have a quality education in Christ. So, the students there are great too. The knowledge I have received from Parkland Lutheran School has made functioning in high school so much easier and is a huge part of why I am successful in my life now. I will always remember Parkland for its caring teachers, and dedication to the Word of God.”

“Parkland Lutheran School has changed my life. My children are in a loving environment with people who truly care for them. I love Parkland Lutheran because of the teachers. Mrs. McClung had my son for our first year at PLS. Because of her, all of my step kids are there now, and we will continue to be there until we go on to Evergreen Lutheran High School!”
