The second-most populous county in Michigan is Oakland County. The hectic pace of the city slows down as you leave Detroit's northeastern neighborhoods, and the countryside provides a respite for families looking for a more tranquil environment.
For families that value peace and quiet yet need to live close enough to the city to commute, Novi and southwest Oakland County have a lot to offer. Just a handful of the things that make people want to visit the region are:
- A more leisurely pace
- Close proximity to Detroit and Ann Arbor
- Within a short drive of the region are state and local parks.
- Outstanding smaller companies
- Cordial neighbors
Although Oakland County is lucky to have excellent public education, many parents want to make sure their children are getting more out of their academic experience. St. Paul Lutheran School is the solution for anyone looking for a private Christian school in the region. Here is what you need to know about how our school can help your child grow academically and spiritually.

What Being a Lutheran School Means to St. Paul
Even though we are a Lutheran school, we do not exclusively enroll Lutherans. Children from all ethnic, socioeconomic, and religious backgrounds are welcomed at St. Paul's. 42% of our student body is non-Lutheran. Here’s what we mean when we say we’re a Lutheran School:
“St. Paul is a member of the Michigan District of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. We believe and teach the doctrine of the Triune God. God the Father is our Creator. Jesus, God’s Son, is our Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit calls us to faith through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism and keeps us in that faith.”
To teach the gospel in every classroom, then, is something we are dedicated to doing. The Christian education curriculum is integral to St. Paul's Lutheran School's mission. There is no price too high to assure that Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord, is the enduring and preeminent figure in our children's education, according to the loving and devoted Christians who run our school.
Emphasis on Christ in the Scriptures is vital to our curriculum, but that does not come at the expense of academic excellence. At a glance, St. Paul Lutheran School provides:
- Small Class Sizes: St. Paul offers a high-quality Christian education with a rigorous academic program, with classes having a maximum of 20 pupils.
- Preschool: Throughout the academic year, St. Paul Lutheran School provides preschool programs for children aged three and four.
- Kindergarten: With a maximum of 16 pupils, our kindergarten class enjoys a Christ-centered environment. Options include morning or all day.
- Grades 1-8: A rigorous academic program is taught in a Christ-centered setting by state-certified instructors.
- In-Classroom Technology: While all courses utilize technology in daily instruction, upper grades give 1:1 technology to students.
