Welcome from Principal Dikeman
Welcome to Hope Lutheran School! We are a small classical Lutheran
school in the south side of the city of St. Louis. We are blessed with
a congregation bold enough to support a school so that as children grow
in God’s grace they become well-educated, developing skills and
knowledge to serve God wherever they go in life. Our families wisely
appreciate the value of Christian education. Students are taught using
time-tested materials and methods, presenting what is true, right and
beautiful. We strive for excellence in all that we do.
Hope Lutheran School offers a stable, quality education with an
outstanding faculty. Over two thirds of our faculty have earned Masters
degrees. Many of our teachers have served at Hope for several years,
demonstrating their commitment to our school and program.
Through high quality lessons taught by skilled teachers, our students
are taught to be good listeners, thoughtful thinkers and persuasive and
effective communicators. Students are taught in a manner that reflects
the natural development of children, which is known as the Trivium. We
acknowledge that parents are their children’s first and most important
teachers. So we view our job as assisting parents who want to give
their children a high-quality education. We strive to have students
become life-long learners, always curious and capable of learning more.
