Faith Lutheran High School welcomes home school students looking for assistance with their high school curriculum. Daily assistance from a professional teacher with expertise in specific subject areas helps home school students reach their fullest potential. By attending Faith Lutheran High School on a part-time basis, students still have the flexibility to continue working with their home school curriculum.
