Mt. Olive LUTHERAN SCHOOL Mt. Olive Lutheran School and Preschool has been offering Christian ed- ucation in Delano for more than 60 years. Their mis- sion statement has three main objectives, which the school and preschool strive to meet every day: 1. To provide families with a knowledge of Jesus as their savior. 2. To train students in all areas of academics. 3. To encourage families in Christian living. Mt. Olive Lutheran Pre- school is a state-licensed and 4-star Parent Aware rated preschool that offers a variety of scheduling op- tions for your child(ren). Children 33 months to 5 years of age are welcome to enroll and be a part of the preschool. Mt. Ol- ive Lutheran School offers education from kindergar- ten through grade 8 and is fully accredited through MNSAA (Minnesota Non- public School Accredita- tion Association). At Mt. Olive, students are taught a Christ-cen- tered education where they learn that they are redeemed children of God and forgiven through their savior’s death and resurrection. The teachers teach this by daily study- ing God’s Word and inte- grating God’s Word into other subjects. Mt. Olive also teaches the core sub- | 50 | jects: mathematics, read- ing, language arts, social studies, science, and the fi ne arts to prepare stu- dents for high school and the rest of their lives. A teacher-to-student ratio of about 1:10 allows the teacher to give each individual student the at- tention he or she needs to grow academically. Along with this teacher-to- student ratio, Mt. Olive has multi-grade classrooms. This allows the students to learn from one another and create a family atmo- sphere within each and every classroom. Mt. Olive also offers many extracurricular op- portunities for its students in athletics, academics, and the arts.
