Emotional Well-Being for Life

Research consistently shows that students who feel seen, valued, and emotionally supported achieve more academically, build stronger relationships, and develop greater resilience. At CNLS emotional well-being is woven into the fabric of every day.

Christian Values Emphasized

Students are taught to value integrity over convenience, humility over pride, forgiveness over resentment, and service over self. They practice these Christian values daily and quickly are transformed from classmates to family.

Hard Work Pays Off Early and Often

At CNLS, your child doesn’t have to be the tallest, fastest, or most naturally gifted to earn real playing time. They simply have to show up, work hard, and care about their teammates. In a smaller program, coaches see effort. They reward commitment.

Here’s a few places where our alumni shined after graduation.

Not Lutheran? No problem!

We welcome all families no matter where you are on your faith journey. When your son or daughter graduates, they’ll carry a solid Christian foundation rooted in the love and teachings of Jesus—ready to meet life’s challenges with confidence and hope.
