Creating responsible, self-motivated young individuals who contribute positively to our world is what we do every day.

Tucked away on a sprawling, private campus is one of the best sources for Christian education in the region: Sarasota Lutheran School, which offers early childhood, elementary and middle school classes in an academically challenging and individually nurturing environment. Sarasota Lutheran School sits on the grounds of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, on 16-plus acres conveniently located just off of I-75 at the intersection of Clark Road and Honore Avenue.

For 26-plus years, Sarasota Lutheran has been home to the RAYS: Really Amazing Young Servants. Our goal? To partner with parents to create responsible, self-motivated and self-disciplined young individuals who positively contribute to our community and our world.

At Sarasota Lutheran School, students learn and grow in a safe, secure environment. Our focus is on a well-rounded education that meets each student's spiritual, emotional, social, physical and intellectual needs. Every child is treated with respect and is given every opportunity to develop their God-given talents. The morals and values instilled in our students last a lifetime. A secure foundation in Christ enables our students to make positive choices as they grow and mature.

The pastors of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, the school's teachers and student families all play key and vital roles in ministering to our students as they grow academically and spiritually. We encourage you to be our partner in your child's Christian education.
