Testimonials

My daughter has attended Grace for 4 years now. My experience with Grace has been a good one, because I believe their curriculum/teaching will help guide my child to become a productive member of society. There is a warm & welcoming atmosphere from all staff I’ve encountered, and teachers are always reachable if anything needs to be discussed.
Jamita, Parent of 3rd Grade Student

After touring a few private schools in the Oak Park/River Forest area, we decided to have our child attend Grace Lutheran. The determining factors were the supportive learning environment, dedicated teachers/staff, faith based setting, and classroom size. Grace Lutheran offers a challenging academic program that encourages students to excel and strive for academic excellence while fostering social-emotional development. Families are encouraged to be invested stakeholders. The students are motivated to bring out the optimal version of themselves. Grace Lutheran is a school that your child/ren can grow in.
