Christian School
Christ Lutheran School is a Christian School, serving children from 2 years old through the Eighth Grade. Our Albuquerque Christian academy families come from dozens of different churches in the area. Our desire is to come alongside Christian families in the training and education of their children. We also admit children from non-Christian families, recognizing the mission of the church to reach others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe the opportunities to share salvation outweigh the challenges that can arise due to social and religious differences, and these challenges present teaching moments for all of our students to learn how to share and defend their faith in a safe learning environment. All families need to understand that we are a Christian school and Christ is at the center of everything we do, and that it will impact not only our students but also their families.
