About Our School
Concordia Lutheran School is a Preschool-6th grade school affiliated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. We are located in Machesney Park, Illinois, and serve families in Machesney Park, Loves Park, Rockford, and surrounding towns.
As a convenience to families further up north, our Preschool offers a secondary location at St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Rockton, Illinois.
Our goal is to educate each of our students to make an impact in their community and world through rigorous standards in our instruction, fueled by Spirit-led compassion in our hearts.
Preschool
Concordia offers flexible full and half-day preschool programs for 3 and 4-year-old children. We maintain a small student-teacher ratio to ensure that your child is getting a personalized education from the very earliest age. Our preschool programs give children early exposure to a Christ-centered education while preparing them for kindergarten.
Grade School
K-6th grade students are engaged in a rigorous comprehensive curriculum that integrates innovation and technology with traditional approaches for a balanced and well-rounded education. Students receive religious instruction daily in addition to chapel service once a week.
Our Commitment to Christ-Centered Education
For the 2024/2025 school year, Concordia Lutheran School has a projected student enrollment of 115 students from preschool through 6th grade. We offer small class sizes for excellent student-teacher support, ensuring personalized attention.
Our mission is to teach the importance of Christ's love in daily life. Our staff demonstrates this love through their interactions, and our curriculum integrates a Christ-following worldview. Additionally, students participate in weekly chapel services and monthly service projects, reinforcing the teachings of Jesus.
Where Christ prevails, love and diversity are celebrated, and dignity and respect are valued.
