About Concordia Lutheran Schools of Omaha
At Concordia Lutheran Schools of Omaha, our mission is to prepare faith secure, world ready, Kingdom leaders for life and leadership in the community and world.
Concordia enrolls just over 700 students in grades K-12. We operate three schools on one campus, Concordia Elementary School (K-5th grade), Concordia Middle School (6th-8th grade), and Concordia High School (9th-12th grade). Concordia Elementary School offers two program options, Academy and Ignite.
Concordia is partners with eighteen Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod congregations. Approximately one-third of the student population holds membership in our Association congregations. Two-thirds of the student body come from families holding membership in other area congregations. Some families do not currently have a church home.

Welcome to Concordia Lutheran Schools of Omaha!
Please enjoy visiting our website as you explore our programs, meet our dedicated staff, and learn more about education at Concordia!
At Concordia, we provide transformative educational experiences while keeping our focus on Jesus. We strive to develop faith secure students who value the work of God, profess and defend an identity in Christ, and reflect Christ in word and action. We provide experiences that contribute to our students being world ready as they achieve academically, succeed in their next step, and think critically. Finally, we prepare students as kingdom leaders who can collaborate with others, demonstrate accountability, and possess a servant’s heart.
We operate three schools on one campus, serving families through their children’s elementary, middle, and high school experiences. Whether your child is about to enter elementary school or looking for new opportunities in their K-12 journey, you will find that Concordia is a place where students are known and loved, and families build meaningful and lasting relationships. Please reach out if you want to learn more about what it would look like for your child to grow in the Concordia community. I am excited about what God is doing here and can’t wait to meet you!
Congregations
Member congregations of Concordia Lutheran Schools of Omaha support the mission of Christian education through their prayers, financial support, promotion of the schools, and volunteer involvement. Eighteen congregations belong to the association. Each congregation is represented by delegates who have a voice in the Delegate Assembly, which approves the annual budget and elects the Board of Directors. Pastors of the association churches also participate through a Pastoral Advisory Committee.
Most member congregations provide financial support to their member families who enroll their children in the schools by helping with tuition costs. Support typically ranges from $500 to $1,000 per student.
While the current membership of the association is made up of congregations affiliated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), non-LCMS churches may be admitted as associate member congregations. Such congregations may be represented by voting delegates in the Delegate Assembly.
