Lutheran High School of San Diego

I went to this school my freshman year of high school and, although I was only able to stay for one year before moving across the country, Lutheran High School set me up for success. As a bit of background, my parents originally considered Lutheran High School because the tuition at Mater Dei and OLP was far more than my family could afford. I also qualified for an insane amount of financial aid because, at the time of application, my dad was laid off. At Lutheran, I was able to involve myself in sports, grow in my love for christ, and develop essential skills. I felt like my education was important there. One of my parents' concerns was that such a small school wouldn't be equipped with the resources to challenge me academically. Even though the school is small they were able to offer me and other gifted students honors classes. Even for students who were not determined to be on the same level as my peers and I were academcally, their class sizes were very small so that they were able to get the attention they needed to succeed and the encouragement that propelled them to become better students, christians, and citizens of the world. The instructors pushed me to be better and challenge my own personal best every single day. I transferred to a public high school and was so ahead that I graduated when I was 16, and I believe that is owed to Lutheran High School. Now I'm one year away from college graduation, where I'm on track to earn my bachelors of science in mechanical engineering. I've interned at NASA and Boeing. Basically I'm in an awesome place in my life and my future looks so bright, and a lot of that has to do with the year I spent at this magical school. If it is within your playing cards to send your child to Lutheran, do it. If it isn't, figure out how to make it work for your family. I'm so thankful that my parents made such extrordinary sacfices to send me to this amazing school. Thanks Lutheran.

It's awesome
