Testimonials

My son has been going to Grace since JK, now he is entering into the 4th grade. There are so many things I love about the school, to name a few, the diversity, the support of art, the support of play education, and the Administration placing their students appropriately academically— with all of this wrapped in Jesus— makes it a great place for your children to grow. Lastly, I am a graduate of Fenwick HS, and I love that many of the students from Grace attend Fenwick High School.
Parent of Current 4th 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.
