Crean Lutheran High School Reviews

As a senior at Crean Lutheran High School, I love the school and cannot imagine myself at any other place. The teachers are incredibly compassionate and supportive, and their teaching is superbly clear. Scheduling classes is flexible, so every student can basically customize his or her schedule to best fit his/her needs, whether that means taking an academically rigorous schedule of multiple APs and 8+ classes, choosing the blended option to focus on music or some other art, or selecting courses in the morning but sports in the afternoon. In every area - academics, music, dance, art, athletics, professional development, cohorts - Crean provides wonderful opportunities to help its students to flourish in their education. The name of Jesus Christ is praised every day on campus and in everything we do, we work to lift His name high. Every year, Crean Lutheran HIgh School grows and improves as the faculty and students strive for excellence, to the glorify of Jesus Christ.

I had a wonderful experience where I was able to grow with the school as it was young like me. Crean provided me with many opportunities, and lots of knowledge. I loved and respected every teacher there. I could be friends with all of them; they were always professional and made class fun. Most importantly it helped me grow in my faith and prepared me for the prosecution I would face in college. I am strong in my relationship to God and my personal identity was not lost when coming to college because Crean helped me develop such a strong foundation.
Overall, Crean is a great school. They offer a good range of classes, and host a variety of extracurricular activities and clubs. The school is a bit small, but is currently undergoing construction as it is still expanding. They also encourage students to join their cohort programs, which is a good opportunity for students to explore different areas of study. The cohort programs include engineering, business, and medical, and each have related lectures, field trips, and classes. If you are looking for a Lutheran school with many resources and opportunities for growth, and don't mind paying tuition, Crean is a great school for faith-driven development and learning.
