General Enrollment Procedures 

Enrollment at Bay Pines Lutheran School is a direct expression of our mission—to provide a Christ-centered education for the children of our congregation and community, preparing them for life on earth and for eternity.

Our admissions process is guided by our mission to give glory to God and to foster a school community rooted in faith, care, and excellence. At Bay Pines Lutheran, we openly and intentionally teach our Christian beliefs and faith life to our students, and—God willing—to their families as well.

We value transparency and partnership with parents and caregivers. As part of the admissions process, we invite families to learn more about what we teach through a Bible Information Course, so you can fully understand and support your child’s faith formation. Our desire is for more people to know and trust in Jesus as their Savior.

Above all, we seek to provide a safe, caring, and high-quality learning environment. These values shape our school culture and are reflected in our daily interactions, decisions, and commitment to serving our students and families with integrity and love.
