About CNLS

One Mission,
Two Campuses

Central Nebraska Lutheran School is a vibrant, Christ-centered educational community in Grand Island, Nebraska, serving students from Preschool through 12th Grade.

Trinity Lutheran School — Pre-K through 6 Grand Island Lutheran High — Grades 7–12

United by a shared Lutheran faith and mission, CNLS is dedicated to nurturing the whole child — academically, spiritually, and personally. We equip students to become confident, compassionate leaders who excel in their studies, grow deeper in their walk with Christ, and live lives of meaningful service in God’s world.

At CNLS, every student is known, valued, and challenged to reach their God-given potential in a supportive, family-like environment rooted in the timeless truth of God’s Word.

Our Why

Rooted in Faith.
Ready for the World.

In a world full of noise, confusion, and shifting values, CNLS provides an education grounded in God’s unchanging Word, academic excellence, and Christ-centered community. We believe faith and knowledge go hand in hand.
