Our Educational Program
Academics
At Beautiful Savior Lutheran School, we strive to serve as an extension of the home in the vital work of Christian education. In addition to the scope of public elementary curriculum, our school offers daily worship and Bible study. All subjects are taught with Christian love and the knowledge that we are God's children, thereby providing a Christian atmosphere with Christian fellowship.
We consider it a privilege to conduct our school so that our children may grow in the Christian faith, develop their God-given talents, be trained in leading a God-pleasing life, and finally receive eternal life! We want them to learn faithfulness, develop a sense of responsibility, and learn the skills and concepts that are the basis for a productive and happy life.
We offer a rigorous curriculum, leading students to recognize reason as a gift of God and to learn the skills they need to think and communicate logically, scientifically, and creatively. Call anytime to schedule a tour of our school and learn more about what makes Beautiful Savior an excellent choice for elementary education.
Multi-Grade Classrooms
Benefits to Consider
Beautiful Savior teaches in a multi-age setting. We divide our K-8 school into five classrooms: Kindergarten, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8. A multi-age classroom offers benefits not easily replicated in a single-grade classroom. Here are some things to consider:
​
Studies show that children in multi-age or family-grouped models score similarly or better academically than their comparison peers in traditionally-grouped classes. Case in point: New Zealand, the nation that boasts the highest literacy rate in the world. There, multi-grade classrooms are common today, just as they once were in America.
​
The mix of ages and abilities optimum opportunities for student collaboration as older students serve as role models. Younger children actively use older children to develop skills and to acquire knowledge, while older children actively assert responsibility for younger ones and develop an increasingly sophisticated understanding of that responsibility and their own studies.
​
When it comes to student affect (i.e., social relationships and attitudes), the case for multi-age organization is very strong. Of the 21 separate measures used to assess student affect in several major studies, 81% favored multi-age classrooms.
​
Our teachers are uniquely equipped to teach in multi-age classrooms, as this is a key focus in their college education.
Extracurricular Programs
Sports, Music, & More...
At Beautiful Savior Lutheran School, we believe that extracurricular activities promote a more well-rounded educational experience. Student athletes at Beautiful Savior compete in various sports throughout the year. Students interested music have the opportunity to participate in instrumental lessons and choir. Numerous field trips and community service activities are peppered throughout the school year. Here's a quick look at some of the extracurriculars we offer:
​
Boys and girls in the upper grades have the opportunity to participate in volleyball and cross country every fall. We also offer basketball and schedule interscholastic games with other schools in our area in January and February. In early February, we take the older students to participate in a tournament in Saginaw, Michigan at Michigan Lutheran Seminary, and to Luther Preparatory School in early March. All of our 3rd - 8th graders participate in track meets with the other WELS schools in Ohio in the spring. In addition, we also host an annual "Sports Day" where we compete against other schools in kickball, dodgeball, and ultimate frisbee.
​
The Lutheran church has been known throughout the centuries as the church of music, and we are blessed to provide instruction in various instruments. Students receive 1:1 instruction and often play for chapel and Sunday services. All of our classes are also choirs and sing during church services throughout the year.
​
Academic Day is held in January, and is a competitive day where we demonstrate our academic skills with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Students compete in spelling, math, group skits, speech, poetry readings, and more. After competing against their schoolmates, Beautiful Savior's top performers move on to compete against other schools in Ohio.
​
Finally, there are at least two field trips during the year for each class, which are designed to build a greater awareness of arts & entertainment. In addition to local field trips offered, we also take our upper-grades on a week-long field trip. This road trip across several states allows students to learn about our nation's history and the diversity of cultures in the U.S.
There are so many opportunities for our students to grow and nourish their God-given talents at Beautiful Savior. If your child is interested in a sport or activity you don't see here, send us an inquiry.
