Welcome to Pilgrim Lutheran School
Pilgrim Lutheran School & Preschool is a nationally accredited PreK-8 Christian school serving students and their families in Mesa, Arizona and the Phoenix metro area.
What are you looking for in a school for your child?
When it comes to the education of your child, you have many choices: public or private, faith-based or charter, home school or neighborhood school. Choosing a school for your child is one of the biggest decisions you will make for your family.
Your school choice will affect what and how your children will be taught about the world around them. It will determine many of the friends your child makes and the mentors they admire. And to go even deeper, the culture of a school helps shape a child’s worldview, choices, and even their beliefs. A school is a formative community in every child’s life!
Knowing this, what are you looking for in a school for your child?
🔶 Partnering with Parents
Children spend many of their waking hours at school – almost as many as in their own homes. As a child’s “home away from home,” Pilgrim serves its students in a warm, relational school atmosphere. The hallways and classrooms, playground and church are safe, supportive, and nurturing spaces where relationships flourish and families “do life” together. Because parents, teachers, and administrators work together as teammates in the education of students, children thrive at Pilgrim.
🔶 Sharing the Love of Christ
Pilgrim Lutheran School’s mission is to share the love of Christ with students and their families. Beyond shaping the culture of the school, it shapes the hearts and lives of children. There is nothing as transformative as the power of grace, God’s love for us! Whether we are studying God’s creation or learning to get along with a friend, striving to use our unique talents or simply trying to make it through a tough day, Pilgrim uses the love and truth of God to support students and their families.
🔶 Serving One Student at a Time
Pilgrim is a proudly small school with low student-to-teacher ratios. Why? Because it’s the best way to ensure that each and every child is seen, heard, and known. Pilgrim Lutheran School delivers personalized education in multi-grade classrooms, where teachers meet every student where they are – academically, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. At Pilgrim, strong partnerships are fostered between school and home, so that parents are involved and informed participants in their child’s education.

“My three children attend Pilgrim Lutheran School and we all love it. As a former public school teacher, I value the small class sizes with teachers who genuinely love and care about their students. These teachers have gotten to know my kids and are so great about meeting all their needs.”
