About Us

Creating Tomorrow’s Leaders Through Faith, Family, and Education

St. Paul Lutheran School has been a staple on Chicago’s South Side since 1889. We incorporate faith-based instruction that guides our students though a journey of human development towards God’s objective for man, “that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” (2 Timothy 3:17).

Our History

“Feed My Lambs” is a command from Jesus that led to the opening of St. Paul Lutheran School. In 1889, St. Paul began as a one room Christian Day School with 14 pupils. As the church’s congregation grew, so did the school. In 1934, the school expanded to grades Kindergarten through 6. Over the years, we have served generations of families who have grown to know Christ through their experiences at St. Paul.

Academic Success

The majority of our students met/or exceeded national norms on the Measurement of Academic Progress (MAP) exam and 100% of our students are accepted into high achieving parochial or chartered schools. We are proud to be a partner with CLEF (Chicago Lutheran Education Foundation) and have a LINK scholarship recipient.
