Picking a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you can make, and I want to thank you for taking a look at Mount Calvary. You have a lot of choices when it comes to great elementary schools, and we strive to ensure that we are indeed a great school.
At Mount Calvary, we want your child to meet the high standards that you set for them in all areas of life. We, of course, have a strong focus on reading, math, and our other core academic subjects. We also offer opportunities for our students to practice art, singing, and band. There is a strong emphasis on character development because we want to equip all of our students with the tools to be good, honest, and successful people. While these aspects of our school are all important, we are the most passionate about teaching our students that there is a God that loves them dearly.
Mount Calvary is a Lutheran school, and we approach everything we do from our distinctly Lutheran perspective. This foundation runs through all of our subjects, activities, and policies. We believe that Jesus makes all the difference in educating our kids. It is a blessing to be able to share the saving message of the Gospel with our students, their families, and our community every day.
Thank you for visiting our website, and don’t hesitate to call us with any questions you have about our great school!

"At Mount Calvary, we have created a place where students, staff, and families respect one another. Our students focus on being the best in school and in our community."
Mount Calvary Lutheran School started as the flagship ministry of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church. The Church and School shared space in the home that the congregation built in 1925. The school started with 9 students in a duplex on 53rd and Locust. In 1927, its first school building with two classrooms was built as an addition to the church. Increasing enrollment between 1948-2007 prompted multiple building expansions for a library, gym, kitchen, computer room, science lab, and additional classrooms.
In July 2021, Mount Calvary Lutheran School became the fourth school of the Lutheran High School Association of Greater Milwaukee. Pastor Dan Czaplewski of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church wrote to the congregation and staff, “As we looked for ways to better serve our students and to provide more resources for our teachers in their ministry, it became clear that the best way to do this was to have Mount Calvary Lutheran School become a part of the LHSAGM.”
Mount Calvary Lutheran School now has the full support of LHSAGM administrative services such as finance and marketing while maintaining its own school culture and personality. Mount Calvary Lutheran Church remains independent and continues to support the school ministry through spiritual leadership and facilities management. Today, Mount Calvary is blessed to serve over 200 students and their families. Mount Calvary is proud to be a WeTeachTruth.org school!
