ST. LOUIS- Eight-thousand students at 34 Lutheran schools in the St. Louis area and Southern Illinois will celebrate National Lutheran Schools Week, January 24-30, 2021
Lutheran schools represent the second largest private school system in the Bi-State Region and were among the first to return to full-time in-person learning in St. Louis and southern Illinois this summer and fall. In August, LESA awarded a record number of need-based scholarships to help Lutheran school students and families who were affected by the economic shutdown. Currently, 1 in 10 Lutheran school students receives some level of financial assistance from LESA.
