Igniting every child’s full potential

For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

‭‭-Philippians‬ ‭2:13‬

Our Mission

Centered in Christ, Journeys Lutheran School prepares students with unique learning challenges to maximize their God-given spiritual, academic, physical, emotional and social potential.

Our Philosophy

About Journeys Lutheran School

At Journeys, we believe every child’s educational journey should be filled with purpose, care, and opportunity. Rooted in Christian faith, we provide a supportive learning environment where students are known as individuals, encouraged to grow, and guided to reach their God-given potential.

Our small class sizes allow teachers to build meaningful relationships with students and tailor instruction to how each child learns best. We focus on individualized and differentiated learning, meeting students where they are academically while helping them gain confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

Faith is woven into everything we do—not only in the classroom, but in how we teach kindness, responsibility, and respect. Education is a journey we walk together, preparing students for future success and a life grounded in faith, character, and purpose.

Why We’re Unique

Journeys Lutheran School serves children in need of individualized attention and programs that are not necessarily offered in general education. Small classroom sizes and individualized instruction give each student the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Along with the individualization of each program, we offer therapeutic activities such as art, music, and a sensory room.

Support our school. Make a difference.

Journeys is a non-profit organization dedicated to meeting the needs of every child God leads to us. We are funded through the Milwaukee school Choice program, but our funding is primarily achieved through donations from churches and individuals.

Your gift will help us Journey Forward - enhancing classrooms, supporting teachers, funding student experiences, technology, and scholarships. Together, let’s keep the light of Christ shining brightly in every child’s journey.

DONATE NOW
  • “I’ll never forget the first time I had heard about Journeys Lutheran School. Honestly, it genuinely sounded “too good to be true.” It’s hard to think about the first time we stepped foot into the school without tearing up, even now. The overwhelming sense of peace and love was evident and felt.”

    —Janel

  • "This school has been an answer to so many prayers since bringing our girls home from China more than 9 and 8 years ago, respectively. We love this community and can’t wait for a stronger, brighter future."

    -Megyn

  • "Journeys has forever changed our lives. There is no question in our mind that we made the right choice. Journeys is a necessary part of our son’s success. When I’ve asked my son and his friends what it is that they like about their school there is a unanimous response from each of them, “I finally have a place where I belong.” When you’ve watched your child struggle for so long, there is no better feeling in the world than knowing that your child has a place where they belong."

    - Elizabeth

  • "I remember sitting in a room with the principal, her teacher, and support staff. All eager to know, 'How can we help her?' I’d never experienced that kind of compassion before. And from that moment on, my daughter began to bloom. There are still hard days. Her favorite word is still “no.” But Journeys says “yes” to her every single day! Yes to patience, yes to love, yes to possibility. And that’s why I drive thirty minutes with a full heart, knowing she’s exactly where she needs to be. Journeys Lutheran has given her a place to grow and given me hope I didn’t know I needed. And that kind of hope? It changes everything."

    —Tynetta

  • “Without this wonderful school my son wouldn't be who he is today! The teachers gave him a reason to believe in himself!”
