Feel the difference from the minute you walk through our doors.
St. Paul’s is NOT “just another private school option” in Livonia.
Here your child will not only learn the required content, but they will be encouraged to take a growth mindset towards life. They will develop solid work habits that will equip them to become productive citizens. They will gain skills so that they are well-prepared for high school, college, and career. Moreso than anything, though, we want your child to feel God’s unconditional love for them as we daily train them in God’s Word.
True Partnership
We don’t just enroll students, we welcome the whole family! Our teachers are here to assist you with the giant responsibility of being Christian parents. We get to communicate daily at drop-off and pick-up, and we are always happy to meet for a parent-teacher conference.
Knowing that “it takes a village” to raise these children, we also encourage relationships between our school families and provide many opportunities for parents to interact with one another. St. Paul’s is more than just where your child goes to school. It is a family that supports one another.
We support busy families with:
Before & After Care
We know that many families have challenging work schedules. Therefore, we offer a morning study hall from 7:15-7:45 am and after school care from 3:15-5:30 pm for students in K-8th grade. Our current rate is $5.00 per student per hour.
Daily Hot Lunch
Our school maintains a daily hot lunch program where meals can be purchased for $5.00. A calendar is distributed each month that contains the daily entrée. Fruit/vegetable and a dairy product like cheese or yogurt are also offered to ensure a balanced diet.
Volunteer Opportunities
Parents volunteer by prepping art projects, working in our school library, or being a part of a team that plans our social events. Others serve hot lunch or as coaches. If you have a talent, please tell your teacher or Principal Roth. We love to get parents involved!
Our Vision & Values
The vision of St. Paul’s can be summed up in three words: Partner. Prepare. Proclaim.
Our school partners with parents in the Christian education of their children. Our school prepares students academically and spiritually for this earthly life and for eternity. Our school proclaims the love of Jesus Christ to each other and to our community.
Mission Statement
St. Paul's Lutheran School assists the families of our congregation, and also our community, by providing a Christ-centered education and training lifelong disciples of Christ.
Academic Tradition
St. Paul’s Lutheran School is part of one of the largest private school systems in the country, with an academic tradition of excellence dating back 165 years. St. Paul’s is part of the Wisconsin Lutheran Evangelical Synod (WELS), which includes 369 early childhood centers, 281 elementary schools, and 26 high schools.
