As the new school year takes off, we're excited to shine a spotlight on one of our local partners, Our Redeemer Lutheran School. Situated on a spacious 10-acre campus just across from NorthPark Mall, this private elementary school has been a vital part of the community since 1961, offering exceptional education to children from age one through sixth grade. But Our Redeemer is more than just a school—it’s a community dedicated to nurturing well-rounded, confident, and kind individuals.

Our Redeemer Lutheran School is a proud ministry of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church and part of one of the largest non-public school networks in the United States. The school’s history dates back to the mid-1800s when Lutheran schools were established to help German immigrants educate their children in a new country while preserving their native language. Today, Our Redeemer continues this tradition of excellence, blending classical and modern education to provide a holistic learning experience.

What makes Our Redeemer truly unique is its commitment to growth in every aspect of a child’s life—academically, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially. The school’s core values are encapsulated in three ways: academically focused, joy-filled, and spiritually rich. This faith-based institution offers ample opportunities for spiritual growth alongside academic progress, fostering an environment where students thrive in all areas of life.

From a robust phonics and reading program to Latin and Spanish classes starting in early childhood, Our Redeemer offers a curriculum that is both rigorous and enriching. The school also boasts an impressive music program, with students excelling in the National Latin Exam and the Mythology Exam as early as third grade.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Our Redeemer is the longevity and dedication of its staff. Many teachers and team members have been with the school for over 20 years, creating a loving and supportive atmosphere that parents notice from the moment they walk through the door. This positivity and support directly benefit the students, who are nurtured in an environment where they feel valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Parent involvement is another key strength of Our Redeemer. From classroom participation to school-wide events like TownHall Tuesdays and the spring auction, parents are not just welcomed but are integral to the school’s community. This strong partnership between parents, teachers, and students is one of the reasons why Our Redeemer continues to be a beloved institution in North Dallas.

As Our Redeemer Lutheran School looks to the future, there’s much to be excited about. The school is set to open a new STEM Lab in the fall of 2024, offering hands-on experiences that will further enrich students’ education. Additionally, the school is upgrading its security measures and planning to expand to include seventh and eighth grades in the near future.

Our Redeemer Lutheran School is indeed a hidden gem in North Dallas. For those interested in learning more, the school welcomes community members to take a tour and discover what makes this institution so special. With its strong values, dedicated staff, and commitment to excellence, Our Redeemer is a shining example of what a faith-based education can offer.
