MLHS IS MORE THAN JUST CURRICULUM           

The curriculum is more than a textbook.  It is an approach to learning by Christian educators to train students to use their God-given skills to reason, process and defend their beliefs from a Biblical perspective.  This emanates from the school mission statement and department goals.  To accomplish the purpose and mission of the school and to meet the objectives of department and individual courses, textbooks and other materials may by used to assist teachers in meeting these goals.  However, the textbook is not the goal but a means to accomplish the goals for each course within the overall curriculum.  

Accreditation and Teacher Certification
Due to the unique and intentional nature of the goals for Christian education, Martin Luther High School does not seek or share the educational objectives of the Minnesota Department of Children, Families and Learning.  However, the quality and standards of academic excellence are achieved through the monitoring of our school goals through an appropriate accrediting agency.  In May 2018 Martin Luther High School was re-accredited by the National Lutheran School Accreditation.

All teachers have a state  licenses.
