Partnering with families to nurture spiritual growth and academic excellence since 1973.
Bay Pines Lutheran School is a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). WELS has a rich tradition of academic excellence in its preschool (early childhood) through grade 12 school system. The WELS has operated highly regarded schools across the United States, the Caribbean, and elsewhere in the world for over 150 years. Currently WELS churches and associations operate 398 early childhood centers, 337 elementary schools, and 25 high schools across the nation. Bay Pines Lutheran is part of one of the largest private school networks in America.
The WELS has provided excellent instructors to these schools by training its own teachers since 1884. Each of our teachers has a minimum of a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. Continuing education for our teachers is also a priority through participation in various in-services, conferences, seminars, and classes. It is gratifying to report that, on average, students attending WELS schools annually tend to outperform their peers by a considerable margin on national achievement tests. We humbly thank God for His blessings upon our schools. Bay Pines Lutheran is proud to continue this rich tradition of academic excellence in the Pinellas County community!
