Luther College High School is a

place where students can be
proud of academic success.
The academic program
emphasizes traditional core
subjects while incorporating
innovative approaches and
modern programs. Luther College
High School exceeds the
curriculum established by the
Government of Saskatchewan. In
addition to the required courses,
Luther students must take more
math in Grade 9, a second English
class in Grade 11 and a course in
Christian Ethics for each year of
enrollment.

The Luther school year is made up

of two semesters. Students are
allowed to take a maximum of six
courses per semester. At every
grade level, there are certain
compulsory courses students must
pass. Students may also choose
optional courses to fulfill the
requirements for their
Saskatchewan Grade 12 diploma.
A dedicated teaching sta
challenges students to excel and
discover their gifts. Our welleducated faculty only teaches in
their major or minor disciplines,
and most possess qualifications
that far exceed standard
requirements.

endeavours.
The IB program provides an enriched
curriculum that both covers and
extends beyond regular Saskatchewan
curricula in its depth and detail.

time management, and study skills
necessary for their success at
university. Students also can gain
post-secondary credits for completing

Luther College students complete

high school well-prepared for the
challenges of university because they
receive an education grounded in the
liberal arts tradition. A liberal arts
education includes core subjects such
as English, history, math and science,
as well as electives such as music,
drama, film, other languages and
physical education.

WHAT CAN A LIBERAL ARTS

EDUCATION DO FOR ME?
1. You will develop critical thinking,
speaking and writing skills;
2. You will be educated as a whole
person - intellectually, spiritually,
physically, psychologically and
emotionally;
3. You will develop not only content
knowledge, but also skills;
4. It will provide you with a wide
range of post-secondary choices.
The most eective university prep
school is one with solid grounding
in many disciplines;
5. You will become a fully engaged
citizen. The liberal arts fosters
individual agency and social
responsibility, an appreciation for
traditions and the need to imagine
and create a better future, as well
as a healthy skepticism and a
strong sense of hope and purpose.

LIBERAL ARTS
EDUCATION

a liberal arts education provides

students with a well-rounded, balanced
foundation of knowledge and experience
upon which to draw. Students learn how to
analyze information, think critically,
solve problems, make decisions and
communicate eectively.

Luther College provides a Christian

context in which students learn and
grow. We welcome students from all
faith backgrounds and encourage
them to explore the meaning of faith
in their own lives.
A unique and strong tradition at Luther
is daily chapel, which forms the
foundation upon which Luthers strong
community of support and respect is
built. Chapel encourages students to
explore social and personal morals,
values, and ethical systems, as well as
demonstrate compassion, care,
generosity, acceptance and purpose.

StudentS adMitted to Luther

CoLLege are not reQuired to be
Lutheran or ChriStian. by
weLCoMing StudentS of aLL
faithS and reLigiouS
baCkgroundS, Luther CoLLege
enjoyS a riChLy diverSe Student
body.

Christian Ethics classes are a place

where students explore issues and
questions involving religious faith,
social ethics, the existence of God, and
religions of the world.
Luther College is aliated with the
progressive Evangelical Lutheran
Church in Canada (ELCIC). The ELCIC is
Canadas largest Lutheran
denomination with over 607
congregations.

CHRISTIAN
CONTEXT

at Luther, we beLieve that

inteLLeCtuaL and SpirituaL
growth ShouLd happen together.
StudentS take CourSeS in
ChriStian ethiCS and attend daiLy
ChapeL ServiCeS.

daily chapel time fosters

Luther's sense of community.
the whole school gathers each morning
to worship, laugh, listen, and learn together.
Chapel can include devotions led by students,
faculty, or clergy; motivational guest speakers;
fun community-building activities;
and music.

Luther College High School arms the

significance of respecting and
embracing the cultures of other
people. We believe that the cultural
diversity in our international student
body is a rich and vital experience for
all our students. Students are able to
share ideas and experiences with
people from a variety of backgrounds.
These opportunities broaden students
perception of the world, preparing
them to take their place in the "global
village" of tomorrow.

students from around the world call

Luther College dormitory students

benefit from being part of a small
and close-knit residence community.
Safety and adult supervision are the
key considerations for Luther sta.
A dean of men, a dean of women
and several assistant deans guide
and supervise dorm students. At least
one dean of men and one dean of
women are always on duty. Deans
serve as positive role models, rule
enforcers and confidantes. A school
nurse is also available to students on
weekday mornings.
Resident students have access to a
dorm lounge and high speed wireless
internet. Meals and snacks are provided
in the Luther College cafeteria.

GLOBAL
PERSPECTIVE

dorm life isnt just about

school work. the dorm program oers
a variety of social activities in which students
can participate including movie nights, karaoke
nights, time in the gymnasium, outdoor
camping programs and even a ski trip to
the rocky Mountains.
