My son has spent 2 years at Immanuel Lutheran and they have been wonderful. We exited to public school system during COVID lockdowns and I was able to get my son enrolled within several weeks in the middle of the school year. Some people might equate a faith based private education with rigidity but this hasn’t been the case. The students and teachers seem to be genuinely enjoying each other and I don’t see any of the problems or vulgar behavior present in TSD middle school my older child attended. I don’t raise my children in a particularly secular manner but my son has gravitated towards faith since he was young child and Immanuel supports him in his walk with God. My son participates in rodeo and often misses a day or half a day to travel to a competition out of state or participate in a clinic. There’s no hassle, repeat phone calls, or harassment about him missing time. I was often hounded by TSD when my older child was off competing in events. There are field trips and service days where the kids participate in service projects as well so I believe the students don’t get as weary of being educated as they might in other environments and I appreciate the character building education the students are receiving by these alternate activities. We will miss Immanuel when he ages out of the middle school.

The first time my wife, myself and our 4 children stepped foot inside this school 2 years ago we felt an overwhelming presence of peace, grace and belonging. There is something amazing going on here. The teachers really do give their absolute best attention to every student and leave no one behind. The staff and everyone who works or attends here are what make this school so special. When you have a group of people with a common purpose and understanding of helping all of these precious students not only succeed in life but thrive and have upward mobility and preparedness for the real world, something truly inspiring happens. We are so very grateful to have our children come to this school and feel very blessed to be a part of this strong community. Thank you Immanuel,Ryan and Kamy Auker FamilyElli 13 years of age girlLogan 12 years of age boySofi 9 years of age girlRowan 3 years of age boy

Our family came to Immanuel looking for an environment where not only were the academic standards are high, but also where Christ is at the center of learning and development. Both of my children, as well as my husband and I, are so grateful for this incredible community. My children have both grown and flourished in every sense here. Kindness, compassion, accountability, and focus on faith are just a few of the top priorities of all staff members, who lovingly model this every day, with every person. I cannot think of a better environment to have my children in for their learning and Immanuel is a place of consistency no matter what may be happening in our world.

We rate this school excellent. I can't say enough about the teachers and how they care for and love each student. My son is in high school and he and his fellow friends who are ILS graduates are one year ahead of their HS peers in Spanish, Math, Science and Computer Classes. His HS English teacher said he is one of her top writers. He will be taking college physics and computer programming classes as a junior and a college math class next year.

The best school since moving the third time for my job that supports and cares not just about the students but also about the families.

Love the teachers! My three children have been blessed in both academic and spiritual growth. Lots of after school programs, on site daycare, Spanish k-8 and great volunteer involvement. My family could not be happier with our school.

I love that the schools are God centered and Faith based! In addition, the teachers have and take the time to work with the children one on one as needed.

I have a daughter that is in Immanuel's preschool. I love her two teachers and I love the program and I love that it is Christ centered. My daughter is learning her alphabet and numbers and is also learning social skills through play and learning centers. She absolutely loves school and the few times she has been sick, she has cried because she could not go to school. I couldn't ask more from a preschool!

This school does a great job overall K-4, but not so much 5th -8th. The entire middle school only has about 40 kids, which is great for those who need individualized attention, or for kids who wouldn't do well in a large public school setting. In the 3 years we've been there, the middle school has shrunk dramatically, and quite a few long-time families have left. The principal is not responsive to concerns, and staffing changes haven't help the situation. Sad to see this happen!

We love Immanuel! My daughter loves the school, teachers, and class mates! I never thought we would put her in a private school, but after she had a horrible experience at the public school we decided to try Immanuel. We first toured the school and got to meet with the teacher and other staff. We Love the fact that she learns good, wholesome values everyday and receives a great education! The teachers make sure that all the kids get the extra help or extra challenge that they each need! I love the variety of families that are a part of this school. They also offer many enrichment programs. My daughter started learning spanish in kindergarten.The principal is involved in almost every part of the school and makes a positive impact on the families there. Yes, we have to make some sacrifices to afford this, but the money we pay is worth every penny to have my kiddo in this amazing environment!!

I do not think this school is a good as the other reviews state. The diversity is not there. Most of the kids are one dimensional, and need protection from the public school environment. If you can afford this school, it's for you If you want you child to get a real education. Go public

My youngest is graduating from the 8th grade this year. My 2 kids have attended since they were each 3 years old. It will be hard to not enter the doors everyday anymore. The kids are so well prepared for HS, my oldest is taking mostly AP and pre- AP classes. The teachers do a fabulous job of challenging the kids and making them work hard. Because of the small school size, my kids have been able to play sports, be in band, plays, and many other activities that they may not have gotten into in the public school. They are well grounded in their faith and ready to tackle the challenges High school will bring

Couldn't be happier! We were a little bit unsure about whether it was okay to not be Lutheran, but soon found out that most students aren't. The small class sizes, on site daycare and fantastic academics are what we really love. The teachers truly care about each student and want them to succeed! We researched so many schools, and we love ILS!

We're really happy with Immanuel. My son is playing basketball and running track, and we have been really impressed by the program. It's cool that the basketball team made it to the National Tournament in Valparaiso, Indiana this year! The neat thing is that everyone plays, too. We don't have big teams, so everyone steps up and learns to play together. He hadn't played organized team sports begore, and the coaches and other players really encourage him. Some coaches are better than others, but overall we've been really happy! I like it that there are cheerleaders now,too, because we need a little more school spirit! GO CRUSADERS!

I never thought I would pay for private education in the elementary school years, but after a horrible experience enrolling my twins into public school ( not able to get the same schedule or full day kindergarten) we choose to look at christian schools. We intended to stay just for kindergarted, but betweent he teachers and day care experience we are still there 3 yrs later and one of my twins scored in the 98% for the standard testing - I think that says it all! I will keep my kids there as long as I can. teachers and staff are compassionate and the other families care about the schoool too!

Before placing my children in school, I researched and visited nearly every charter, private, and Christian school in northern Colorado. Immanuel was by far the best school in the area. They have a top-notch academic record, experienced, caring teachers, a good sports program, and most importantly, their main focus is God and living in relationship with Him. We have been at Immanuel for several years now, and the growth I have seen in my children is just amazing. We could not be happier.

I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience at Immanuel! Our daughter loves school so much she wishes she could attend all summer long. The school is not only academically strong but also teaches other equally important values. Students learn respect for others and to appreciate who God created them to be and they develop a wonderful sense of self-esteem as they discover the gifts God gave to them personally. It is so important to us that the same values we teach at home are taught at school and that this is consistent for our children. It is so evident that the teachers care deeply about the students and go above and beyond to meet the needs of each one. We are blessed to call Immanuel our school.
