      Evergreen is a great close knit school. The smaller school size is great for more individual time between students and teachers. It also allows students to participate in many extra-curriculars they maybe wouldn't have been able to at bigger school. This allows for establishing great for friendships, team/school unity, and teaching great time management skills for the future. Evergreen offers busing from Kitsap and Federal Way. I love working with the school families. We have many parents that have attended and now send their own kids here. I would recommend looking into sending your kids to this school.

      Our school is a phenomenal place for our children. I am an alumni and my children currently go to school here. We were started by the ELS synod and later joined in operation by the WELS, where it is currently co-operated. The school supports international students as well as local students. We have a staff who loves our children and works very hard to help them succeed. There's a high percentage that go on to college and are extremely well prepared once there. The students are not required to participate in sports, but a high percentage of them do. There's also drama club, music, journalism, etc. Lots of extra-curricular items for them to be involved in. We have been please with the academic out-come of our children and more importantly that they are being a taught Bible based christian beliefs.
      Evergreen Lutheran puts a lot of effort into building a community. The students are not just students in the classroom, they are part of something bigger. The teachers and staff notice when students are struggling academically and personally. They work to create an inclusive environment through school wide activities, teacher-student interactions outside of the classroom (like sport events, and field trips) and an open communication policy.
