Tomorrow, November 1, we will hold the final regularly scheduled NLSA Best Practice Webinar. Leaders from St Paul Lutheran High School in Concordia Missouri will share their amazing practices.

Saint Paul is both a community and a boarding high school in its 129^th year.

The school has become very  intentional in maintaining a diverse student body of over 200 with students in grades 9-12 from local communities, 12 American states and several foreign countries including China, Hong Kong, Japan, Kenya, Madagascar, Norway, Slovakia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. They believe this diversity offers benefits, opportunities and challenges for all students, their families and our faculty and staff in spiritual, academic, social and worldview arenas.

Their goal is to reach each student in a transformational way leading with God’s Word in order to build up the body of Christ. Strategies for integration include Peer Ministry Training (PMT), English Language Development (ELD) classes, international travel for domestic students, athletic and academic teams, and intentionality in social integration from mealtimes to residential hall life.  

Curriculum development includes a unique religion curriculum that begins with an introduction to the Bible on an entry level to upper level dual-credit college classes. The latter classes are offered in cooperation with the Concordia University system for those seeking church work vocations in our synodical terminal schools.

Schools experiencing an increase in student diversity or wishing to begin to move in that direction will find help and encouragement in planning and program.
