Why a Christian High School Education?

LHS strives to meet students where they are at and prepare them to lead lives of impact.  We believe that students deserve an environment that nurtures faith while allowing them to pursue excellence in the classroom, on the field, the stage, or any other extra-curricular they enjoy. 

Our students are challenged with customized college prep curriculum and 21st century classroom tools to prepare them for the next level in their life, whether that be in college (as it is for 94% of graduates) or another career or educational path. 

Lutheran High School is proud of all of our alumni.  They are changing San Antonio and the world beyond in areas like engineering, urban farming, pharmacy, marine biology, church work, medical doctors and nurses, and so many other areas.

LHS is more than a school training up workers.  Lutheran High is a place that encourages care in our community and a commitment to family and Christian ethics.  We believe our students will make the greatest impact not by what they know, but by the way they share what they know.

LHS believes it is a blessing to be able to talk about God and ask those personal questions that all people struggle with. We are committed to developing students, not only in academics, but in faith, and in community.  

Christian Worldview
  • Lutheran Schools are thoroughly Christ-centered, evangelical, and Bible based – committed to planting and nurturing a Christian worldview in students’ lives, lifestyles, and hearts.
  • Lutheran Schools pursue and offer excellence and quality.
  • Lutheran Schools focus  not only on the academic and athletic but also the spiritual and psychological development of their students.
​Stable, Large, Experienced, Successful
  • The Lutheran School system reaches over 288,000 students nationwide.
  • The Lutheran School system is the largest Protestant school system in the United States. There are over 2,526 preschools, elementary and middle schools, high schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries that make up LCMS schools nationwide.
  • The Lutheran School system operates 130 high schools across the nation.
  • The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod operates 10 high quality liberal arts universities across the nation — Concordia University-Texas is just north of us in Austin!  These universities prepare students not just for making a living, but more importantly for “making a life” that makes a difference for Christ.  The Concordia’s produce graduates in fields such as business, nursing and pre-med, education, engineering and so much more.
Academically Excellent
  • Lutheran school students test 23% higher than the national average on standard achievement tests.
  • Average SAT/ACT test scores of students attending Lutheran high schools are well above the national average. Students in Lutheran schools at every grade level, and especially in middle school and high school, have more developmental assets than students in public schools, according to Search Institute.
​Higher Education Equipped
  • Lutheran High School of San Antonio has  top performing classes and clubs in anti-cyber terrorism and robotics.
  • 43 dual credit/AP courses are available through NATIONALLY accredited universities and the Advanced Placement program.
  • 96% college acceptance rate
  • LHS focuses on helping teach student how to think, not what to think.
Christ-centered and Mission Minded
  • Since our schools are “mission outposts,” sharing the love of Christ is central to everything we do and say.   Our faith is integrated across the curriculum.  As a result, many children are baptized and many families join congregations and become active in the life of the church.
