Teacher's Aide - 2024-2025 School Year, Northwest Lutheran

About the Organization

LUMIN Mission

Our purpose is to provide safe, Christian schools focused on educational success, leadership development and spiritual growth.

LUMIN Schools is a network of high-performing, Christ-centered schools. Each campus has its own teachers and principals. They also have the support of network staff who ensure we are offering the best curriculum, quality meal programs and support services like counseling, social work and special education. Using the power of our network, we are able to meet our scholars' needs beyond the academic to also include their social, emotional and spiritual needs.

Though we serve elementary and middle school students, we believe it is never too early to start preparing for college and a career. Establishing a college mindset starts in K4, and our focus on career exploration deepens with every grade. When a scholar graduates from a LUMIN School, he/she will know the love of God and be both academically and socially prepared to take the next step toward a successful future.
