A Message From Principal Kim
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
​
"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.'" Mark 19:14
You, as a parent, have an important accountability in raising children. It is often a daunting task that requires much time, effort, and energy. Our school is ready to help educate your child to be an equipped and responsible Christian and citizen.
Our mission is to nurture the whole child, instilling a love for learning and God. We believe education is not just about textbooks and examinations but also about shaping character, instilling moral values, and preparing our students for life's journey with Christ as their guide.
The verse above reminds us the importance of education, rooted in Christ's teachings, is on a child's life. At Jerusalem Lutheran School, we strive every day to ensure that our students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and faith to confidently face the world and make a difference.
Thank you for taking the time to explore our school's program. We invite you to join us in our mission to shape the next generation of Christian leaders. Should you have any questions, please contact me anytime.
In Christ,
Chiseon Kim
