Does my family have to belong to a Lutheran Church in order for my child to attend Lutheran Special School?

• No. While we are affiliated with the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, we welcome students of all faiths and religious backgrounds. However, our curriculum is based upon the Christian values and doctrine inherent to the Lutheran faith.
  

What does tuition for Lutheran Special School cost?

• We never make the cost of sending a child to Lutheran Special School an issue. We accept School Choice funds, offer tuition assistance, and help families apply for scholarships to pay for a child's tuition. Please contact us if you are interested in enrolling a child in our school and we will discuss tuition costs and options with you.

Do you participate in School Choice?

• Yes. Those students who live in the city of Milwaukee and meet the financial requirements of the program may apply for School Choice to attend Lutheran Special School. For more information on School Choice, contact us at 414-461-8500.
  

What type of learning difficulties do you work with?

• We work with students who have been identified with a variety of learning difficulties including LD, ED, CD and ADHD. We also work with slow learners and students with social and behavioral problems. If you are interested in any of the services provided by LSSES, please contact us to discuss your child and we will work with you to identify which services may be most helpful.
  

Do you serve physically handicapped students?

• We are unable to enroll students with physical handicaps because our facilities are not equipped with ramps.

Do you offer busing or van transportation?

• We do not offer transportation to or from our school. We encourage parents to car pool.

Do you offer any before or after school programs?

• We are not able to offer any before or after school programs at our self-contained classroom site. There are before and after school programs at both the resource room locations.
  

Do you offer free or reduced price hot lunches?

• No. Self-contained classroom students should plan to eat the lunch served in the high school cafeteria for under $2.00 or bring a bag lunch. Students attending the resource rooms would pay the fee for hot lunch at the host schools or bring a bag lunch.
