Her student was falling behind in school.

Now she is thriving academically.

Read more about one parent’s journey from worry to peace, knowing her child is seen and known at Concordia Lutheran School Seattle. 

“When our student was in (her other) school, it was easy for her to fly under the radar. This resulted in her falling behind in reading and math. We repeatedly advocated for resources, but we were told there was nothing that could be done. Her confidence was low and she did not want to go to school. 

The smaller class size at Concordia Seattle helped her to be seen and to thrive. She was met where she was in learning instead of trying to keep up with the larger class. As a result, she went from an unconfident reader to a kid that loves to read out loud to her class. Her confidence has soared and her academics are much improved. I attribute this to the smaller class size and individualized learning at Concordia Seattle. 

At Concordia Seattle, I didn’t feel like I had to sound the alarm, because the teachers were able to clearly see where she needed help and adapted to meet her needs. The learning plan was proactive and intentional. Now, I don’t have to worry that she would fall through the cracks, because I know that Concordia has a well developed safety net to prevent my student from being left behind academically.

I love that my once unconfident reader will now read the morning announcements for the whole school. It truly made me cry when I heard this from her teacher. 

My main goal in coming to Concordia Seattle was to help her improve academically, but the reality is that her confidence grew more than I could have ever expected. The academics improved naturally once she found her confidence and Concordia Seattle made a huge difference in this process.

I most appreciate the strong community and instantly accepted us and made my student feel she belonged. Our transition to Concordia Seattle was made easier by the loving community.”

Concordia Seattle focuses on three main outcomes for students: confidence, community, and academic mastery. We do this through personalized learning, using small group learning and personalized goals to give your student confidence and community as they learn.

Here’s how we saw those outcomes develop in this student, in her mother’s words:

Confidence: She is excited to go to school and try new things. She reads often and in front of groups when she previously refused to even try.

Community: She is a social kid by nature, but at Concordia Seattle she was instantly accepted into the fold. The connection we felt to this community was instant. 

Academic Mastery : She has made huge gains in her standardized testing scores in a short period, but more importantly she loves to learn now. She is excited to pick out new books or practice counting money at home. Her confidence in learning new things is exciting to see.

At Concordia Seattle, your child is seen and known. Want to know more about our academic program?
