Student Life at CLS

Thrive at Community

Student life at Community Lutheran School is shaped by meaningful relationships and shared experiences that bring students and families together.

From weekly chapel services to monthly family fellowship nights, CLS is a place where students are known, supported, and encouraged to grow in faith and character. Learning, worship, service, and celebration are woven into everyday life, creating a community where students are truly known and loved.

Life Beyond the Classroom

While strong academics are a priority, much of what shapes students happens outside of textbooks and tests.

Student life at CLS includes:

Weekly chapel services
Monthly family fellowship nights
Christmas and Spring musicals
Community service projects
Field trips

These experiences help students apply what they are learning, build friendships across age groups, and see faith lived out in everyday life.

A Community That Grows Together

CLS is intentionally small and relational, allowing students to be known by name and valued for who they are. Older students mentor younger ones. Teachers walk closely with students. Families gather, worship, and serve together.

This sense of community provides consistency between home, school, and church – reinforcing shared values and giving students a strong sense of belonging.

Opportunities to Explore, Create, and Lead

Student life at CLS offers meaningful opportunities for students to explore interests, develop talents, and grow as leaders in a supportive environment.

Through athletics, the arts, clubs, and service, students are encouraged to:

Try new things
Work together as a team
Build confidence and responsibility
Discover God-given gifts

Every activity is grounded in the same Christ-centered values that shape the classroom.
