LESA Curriculum Guides are designed to give teachers a blueprint to help students realize their God-given abilities to become caring, competent Christian leaders in the world.

Curriculum study and writing is a continuous improvement process. Each summer, we gather with educators from our member schools to review, revise and update a different section of our LESA curriculum. The content and format for our curriculum documents are clearly established and meet national, Missouri, and Illinois guidelines.

“Lutheran education is Christ-centered, so the Gospel of Grace permeates everything – sports, curriculum, every aspect of the school.”

Jerry Wollenburg, LESA Board Member & Educator
