WEST LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL
As a Minnesota-accredited high school with numerous post-secondary education options and advanced placement offerings, West Lutheran High School is one option for local families. It features academic preparation for a graduate’ s college of choice and entrance into a career, all while following the mission of learning academic and life skills, believing in God’ s word, growing in Christian character and achieving personal excellence.
Every student’ s education plan is tailored personally for learning and reaching targeted goals. The smaller staff-tostudent class size ratio, which averages 12:1, enhances individualized attention, and the environment allows students to blossom and find friends for life.
Participation in its full menu of athletics, extracurricular and fine arts options is open to all ability levels.
West Lutheran’ s enrollment comes in at just over 200 students. Many live in Plymouth, but some students commute from area communities. The International Student Program also recruits students from multiple foreign countries who live with West Lutheran families, giving them more exposure to American culture.
