Faith is the largest Lutheran school in the United States and the largest non-public school in the state of Nevada. This year, we serve more than 2,100 students in grades 6-12. In spite of our size, we believe the core value of the "Faith Family" makes us feel small where each child is cared for and loved. With our newly launched Faith Lutheran Online (FLO) high school, we are providing new ways for high school students to have a more flexible schedule, attend Faith Lutheran though they may live somewhere else in the world, keep tuition costs down, and/or enhance their current onground schedule. - Dr. Steve Buuck, CEO
