What Faith Lutheran Middle School & High School does

Faith Lutheran Middle School & High School is a private, faith-based educational institution serving grades 6–12 in Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada. Founded in 1979, the school operates as Nevada's largest private school with approximately 441 students enrolled across its academy programs and a workforce of 101–250 employees. It delivers a college preparatory curriculum anchored in Christian values, augmented by eight career-focused academies (STEM, Business & Entrepreneurship, Film & Broadcasting, Justice & Advocacy, Flight, CHRIST, Fine Arts, and Hospitality & Tourism), a comprehensive athletics program, fine & performing arts, Canarelli Academic Support, and an Inclusive Education track.

The school's core product surface combines traditional classroom instruction with academy-based industry exposure, the FLex online learning platform, the Crusader Connect family portal, and the newly opened Hooks Family Innovation & Technology Center (dedicated June 2025). Supporting technology integrations include Parchment for transcripts, Zoom for admissions webinars, Google Forms for event registration, Ludus for event ticketing, and OneCause for advancement fundraising. Academy students secure hands-on placements with named partners including Summerlin Hospital, the Office of Governor Joe Lombardo, The Jewelers of Las Vegas, Community Lutheran Church, Grace Lutheran Church Henderson, and KGA Architecture.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual tuition billed to enrolled families, supplemented by the Crusader Annual Fund, a Capital Campaign, and named major donations (Hooks Family, David Oder/Shift4). The go-to-market motion is sales-led, leveraging campus tours, Zoom-based Application 101 webinars, HS Preview Nights, Explore Faith open houses, and Future Crusader Days, with marketing distributed via the school's website, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube channels. The institution is led by President and CEO Mr. Mychal Thom, who assumed the role in March 2026 after Dr. Buuck's 18-year tenure.
