High School
A Place Your Student Belongs
Your student has successfully navigated grade school and middle school, and now they’re preparing to take the next big step into high school. This pivotal stage in their journey marks both an exciting new chapter and a critical foundation for their future—whether it’s the culmination of formal education or the stepping stone to higher learning.
As a parent, you want your student to feel confident and supported in a school environment that helps them thrive. High school is not just about academics; it’s a time for personal growth, self-discovery, and developing independence. Your student needs opportunities to explore their interests, sharpen their talents, and build the character that will guide them in making wise decisions for years to come.
At St. Croix Lutheran Academy, we partner with families to provide more than just an education. We help students take ownership of their futures, equipping them with the tools, wisdom, and spiritual guidance to pursue their goals with confidence and purpose. In a Christ-centered environment, your student will grow not only as a learner but as a servant leader, prepared to face life’s challenges with resilience and faith.
You want the best for your student—an experience that shapes their mind, nurtures their heart, and strengthens their relationship with God. At St. Croix Lutheran Academy, that’s what we strive to provide: a place where your student can flourish spiritually, intellectually, and physically, all while walking confidently in God’s grace.
