Abiding Savior Lutheran School

Our children have attended three preschools in the area and Abiding Savior is by far the best preschool when it comes to academic preparation for Kindergarten. We have been very impressed with the methodology of teaching phonics and printing, we have seen one of our younger children, who had previously struggled with printing, just blossom at Abiding Savior. We get pictures of our child almost weekly emailed by his teacher and there are great activities in the classroom each week. This past week the students painted with a blindfold to simulate what being blind feels like, the artwork was on the wall that week, we did not have to wait until the end of the year to see it, like we did at the other schools. The classroom also has a full time aide and she assists the students with their printing and art activities. The special events hosted by the preschool are held at night so parents who work during the day or are not able to leave their younger children at a sitter are able to attend and enjoy that special time with their students. We are very lucky to have found Abiding Savior this year and we look forward to summer school this June and July!

Abiding Savior Preschool and Grade School are the best private schools in the Lake Forest area. Over the years our children have attended six different preschools and two different private schools in the area and Abiding Savior is definitely the only school I will wholeheartedly recommend. The preschool is exactly what a parent wants it to be: engaging, exciting and welcoming to the children, their siblings and parents. This preschool has a curriculum that has been the most beneficial for our children, who are printing and reading at a skill level that is way ahead of the pack. The grade school is definitely the most established private school in the area; it has a very well-rounded approach to meeting each student's needs. The campus is secure and as the children move from class to recess to lunch or PE they are monitored by the staff who take their job very seriously and are devoted to the students at the school. We consider our family to be very lucky to be at Abiding Savior, we recommend only this school to our friends and neighbors and encourage them to go to the campus and meet the staff and teachers. Thanks for reading my post, best wishes to you and your children!

Beautiful School. We scouted tons of private schools in South OC before finding ASLS. Spectacular campus and beyond impressive classrooms. The Administration is eager to help and my children connected with their teachers immediately. They have a resource teacher for children who need help.

My daughter graduated from Abiding Savior and tested into honors classes in high school. I believe this school provided so much more for her than she would have received in the public schools. The teachers and staff are caring and involved. We LOVED this school!

My son attended pre-K here this past year. After attending Grace Christian school last year, we decided to try AS after hearing great reviews. We felt Grace did not have a strong pre-K academic program. I was so impressed with the love and attention his teachers and staff provided to my son and our family this year. My son was so excited to learn each day. The academic program is excellent! He started initiating prayer at the dinner table which made us so happy. He was writing his name at an early point of the year. If you are looking for a loving, Christ centered school then this is the school to choose!

I am proud to be on such a hard working and caring staff. Besides academics we offer sports, music, and drama experiences for our kids. A well rounded, Christ centered education!

It is a school completely focused on bringing little children to Jesus and telling them how much they are loved, by their school and by Him. They have awesome teachers, a caring principal, and so much more!

The faculty and staff really care about their students! They could be earning a higher paycheck in the public sector, but they choose to work with kids in a private school where they can share their faith.

The kids have always shown pride in their school and the teachers go above and beyond the call of duty with eagerness. Whether the budget be up or down, the enrollment be too much or too littl in a class, the principal, teachers, and volunteers do all they can to maximize the advantages of each situation. Our special resource teacher is one of the best, and our use of technology in the classrfoom is competitive with similar schools.

Excellent school, the whole staff is wonderful. I think it has a small town feeling. Teachers really get to know all the kids. Fantastic environment for kids to grow up in. Old time values with todays technology is what this school has. The only reason its not a 5 star is that grounds to play in can use a grassy area. Otherwise I haven't met teachers so dedicated to thier students, this is a real blessing, especially in this day and age. Kids really do get a feeling that they belong.

It is a good Christian based school and the teachers seem dedicated. Their academic program might be more lenient than other schools in this area. Their campus and grounds are inferior.

This is a great school. They are teaching much more than academics. They are teaching values and social responsibility. We are extremely happy with the quality of education our child is receiving.

Abiding Savior Lutheran School is wonderful! It is encased in a very warming and open environment. The teachers are top rate; they care for their students' needs and teach them more than public schools. Also, the school has excellent extracurricular activities including sports, clubs, and a day care. For the upper classes, they have the opportunity to participate in electives (cooking, guitar, archery, etc.) and class field trips (Catalina Island, Washington, D.C., and much more). It truly is worth its money.
