  • If we are in financial need, how can we receive support with the cost of tuition?

    There are three main ways we work to support families in making the choice to attend St. Paul Lutheran School in Stevens Point. Our goal is to make it so that families who desire a Christian education have opportunities to make this happen beyond means and circumstances as much as possible. One opportunity is in our Tuition Assistance program for students attending grades

    K3-8. Awards are always based on need and are typically issued in the spring before a school year starts. Our school uses TADS as a third party aid assessment. Secondly, your family can use our SCRIP program to help reduce tuition costs. Finally, we have a Family Referral program where you receive discounts on your tuition if you refer a family or families to St. Paul and they enroll for the year.

  • What is the relationship between the church and school?

    St. Paul Lutheran School is a vital component of St. Paul Lutheran Church. The church plays an essential role in supporting the school children and parents. St. Paul Lutheran Church funds a portion of the overall budget. It also helps the partnership through Bible classes for all ages, youth ministries, care ministries, counseling, and music.

  • What does it mean to be a Christian school parent?

    We pray that St. Paul’s parents will train their children in the way of the Lord, nurture the development of their child’s faith by encouraging their child through instruction and by example to live a life of faith, prayer, worship and service to Christ, that they would pray for family, church and school, and take an active and involved interest in the education of their child.
