Luther College High School: inclusive, welcoming and focused on student success
Luther College High School is a small historic independent school, steeped in tradition and-earned accolades. Luther offers students small class sizes, opportunities for one-on-one interaction with teachers, and an educational experience that will prepare students for post-secondary education. Luther offers grades 9-12 with the option for International Baccalaureate (IB) diplomas and certificates. IB is an enriched curriculum that both covers and extends beyond regular Saskatchewan curricula in its depth and detail. Innovative program options include a popular film and video studies program, language offerings for French, German and Latin, international study tours, an award-winning music program, and opportunities for many different areas of athletics. Luther College High School is a place where academic success is an achievement that students can be proud of.
Many of our alumni look back fondly on their high school days. Most admit that their education at Luther was the door that opened a world of possibilities for them. Rachel Mielke graduated from Luther in 1998. Now as the CEO of Hillberg & Berk, she says, “Luther is where I really found myself and where I developed a lot of confidence that served me well as I started my own business later in life.” Many Luther College alumni have received international recognition and have become leaders in their communities as doctors, judges, lawyers, entrepreneurs, journalists, film makers, professional athletes, Nobel Prize winners and Rhodes scholars.
Luther provides a Christian context in which students learn and grow. Luther welcomes students from all faiths and backgrounds.
Through daily chapel and Christian Ethics courses students explore the meaning of faith in their own lives. Students are not required to be Lutheran or Christian. By welcoming students of all faiths and backgrounds, the school community is richly diverse. Adding to that diversity are over 80 international students who live in the on-campus dormitory. Luther respects and embraces the cultures of other people. The cultural diversity of our international student body is a rich and vital experience for all students.
If you have students who aren’t yet in Grade 9, the Future Luther Student program is a really great way for students in grades Kindergarten to Grade
8 to preview Luther College High School and to get to know the school community. Being part of the program means students will receive a special membership card and free tickets to school events. Parents can signup their children online at www.luthercollege.edu under “Admissions”.
Future Luther student members use their membership cards to attend Luther College athletic home games at the school, the annual senior girls volleyball tournament, and the Luther Invitational Tournament (LIT). This basketball tournament is one of the most wellknown and prestigious senior basketball tournaments in Canada. It is a student-run tournament, lasting three days in February. The tournament has been running for over 60 years and includes girls and boys teams from across Western Canada.
As well, all Future Luther Students receive two free tickets to Luther’s high school musical production running October 19-22, 2017.
Our Broadway musicals involve over 150 Luther students either in the cast, orchestra or in the many crews that include makeup, costumes, admissions, lighting, sound and stage crew. The musical provides students with new artistic experiences and opportunities in a creative and fun setting. Visit our website to learn more about this year’s show!
If families are interested in sending their children to Luther, they should start thinking about the process of application in Grade 8. Families should research the application process, tuition fees, scholarship opportunities, financial aid assistance, school program offerings and extra-curricular activities. To help with this process, Luther offers personal tours and open house information nights in November and January for interested families. Luther also offers a spend-a-day program for Grade 8 students. Grade 8 students are invited to spend a day attending classes, chapel and even have lunch in the full service cafeteria with one of our Grade 9 Ambassador students.
Luther also offers a convenient and economical bussing program for students. There are several routes within the city serviced by the Luther College High School bus program. As well, bus service is offered to rural residents with a pickup/ drop-off at a central point in White City.
Only students enrolled at Luther College High School are eligible to use this service.
