Potential Ottawa Lutheran Microschool
Faith Lutheran Church in Ottawa is considering opening a Lutheran School. If you think of the old Kansas “one room schoolhouse”, it will help you understand what a microschool can be. A microschool is a modern take on education where small groups of students learn together in a setting that emphasizes personalized education, spiritual growth, and community engagement. Rooted in Lutheran values, a microschool aims to offer an individualized, flexible, and faith-integrated learning experience, tailored to nurture both the mind and soul.
Please complete this short community survey to help determine the viability of a microschool in Ottawa |
