Why MLA?
Why Should you Choose
Martin Luther Academy
For Your Child
Christian education is not about good or bad public schools. Christian education simply offers something the public schools cannot – a Christ-centered academic setting and a sense of community. Our schools offer a safe environment, challenging curriculum, faculty that cares about each student, and managed classrooms that teach proper behavior and are conducive to optimal learning. Lutheran schools make up the 2nd largest parochial school system in the U.S. with over 2500 schools.

Lutheran Teachers
MLA seeks highly proficient teachers both nationally and locally. Synodically trained and qualified Lutheran teachers are hired wherever possible. Other teachers who are members of a Lutheran church, but who are not synodically trained, may also be considered. If staffing needs still remain, other Christian teachers may be hired. All MLA teachers are Missouri State certified.

Describe the
Curriculum at MLA
The program is structured around core curricular areas (including language arts, reading, math, and science) designed to meet each student’s needs. Class times meet the Minutes of Instruction Guidelines of the state of Missouri. We are committed to small class sizes and efficiency within our classrooms.
All subjects are taught from a perspective that God is the Creator and Lord of the universe and all things in it.
In addition, daily religion classes, art, music, fine arts, Spanish, physical education and computer skills are strongly emphasized at all levels. Students and teachers alike reflect the call to develop the gifts God has given, use them to honor God and to serve one another.
Individual student needs are met at MLA. NWEA MAP testing is proctored to grades 2-8 three times a year to show student academic growth and provide teachers with data to help drive instruction.
