About Us

A group of parents and church members wished (and lots of prayer!) to build a Christian school. 


Through their hard work and dedication, the doors of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church with School opened in the fall of 1983, with 29 students enrolled.  


In 1990, a preschool program was added and just two years later plans to commit to a building expansion was voted on. 


Ten years after inception, a 1.2 million dollar building addition was dedicated to include 8 classrooms, a school office and the Family Life Center (gym). 


Today, academic excellence within a Christ-centered atmosphere continues at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church with School, serving more than 100 students in grades 3K-8, and more than 380 alumni are now learning, leading and serving faithfully in God's world. 


The Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP) is a TUITION-FREE option for parents who want to send their children to a private school but feel that the cost of tuition would be difficult to manage.


The WPCP is government-sponsored and pays the tuition for families that qualify based on income and residency requirements; it will pay for PK4 and Kindergarten (as well as 1st-8th grade), but not for PK3.


We can help parents/guardians with the application process, but cannot do it for them. In addition, choice parents/guardians should contact our school call or email Danielle Strom at (262) 728-6589 or dstrom@orlcs.org with questions, not DPI.


Our Redeemer prays this program will be an asset to our families as we seek to provide an excellent Christian education to the students of our congregation and surrounding community.
