What Faith Lutheran Church & School Marietta, GA does

Faith Lutheran School is a private Christian school operated as a ministry of Faith Lutheran Church in Marietta, Georgia, serving children from 9 months through 5th grade. The institution offers a classical Christian education program that integrates Lutheran theology with rigorous academics, including Early Childhood Education (ECE1-4 plus a newly added Baby Room for 9-18 month olds), Kindergarten through 5th Grade elementary education, and specialty instruction in Latin, Fine Arts, Music, Art, and Physical Education. The school is accredited through the National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA) and is a ministry of a congregation affiliated with The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS).

The school's core technology is non-proprietary; it relies on third-party platforms including RenWeb for student information management and online applications, FACTS Tuition Management for billing and payment plans, and IXL for at-home learning. The school operates from a single campus at 2111 Lower Roswell Rd., Marietta, GA, with a staff of approximately 30-40 employees including administration, ECE through 5th grade teachers (all of whom hold college degrees, many with advanced degrees), and support staff. Extended care (Kids Club) is provided from 6:45 AM to 6:00 PM, and a 10-week themed summer camp program serves students 18 months through rising 6th grade.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition ($8,750-$12,500 annually depending on program), supplemented by Kids Club extended care ($9/hour or $365/month), summer camp fees ($150-$265/week), charitable donations via the Legacy Foundation Fund (with a $60,000 goal for 2025/26), and Georgia Student Scholarship Organization (GaSSO) state tax credit scholarships. The school employs a sales-led and event-driven go-to-market approach, relying on its website, social media, scheduled campus tours, open houses, and a 10% tuition credit referral program. No venture capital, private equity, or external institutional investment is involved; the institution operates as a nonprofit ministry of Faith Lutheran Church.
