Greater care Greater learning
The statement Greater care Greater learning encapsulates a central philosophy of a Luther College education. It is our belief that if students are nurtured in their adolescent years, encouraged to pursue their dreams and challenged with an engaging curriculum, they will grow into responsible and motivated young adults.
At Luther, we endeavour to provide the best education possible in a Christian setting where the whole person can grow and develop with confidence and dignity.
The College’s extensive programs offer all students opportunity for spiritual and moral growth, service and social involvement, excellence in academics, the arts and physical activities, to prepare them with confidence for their individual vocations and a Christian life.
As a Christian school Luther College values Service, Community, Excellence and Integrity. The College provides opportunities and experiences for young people to grow and prepare to successfully contribute to society with confidence and dignity.

Greater Futures
