Although Topeka Lutheran School is maintained and operated primarily for the children of the congregations affiliated with the Lutheran School Association, Topeka, Kansas, it is eager to provide a Christian education for the children of any interested family. Since available facilities limit the number that can be enrolled, the categories of church membership listed below have been established to determine eligibility for admission. Because Topeka Lutheran School doesn’t have special education classes, the school may not be able to meet all children’s needs. Topeka Lutheran School does offer Title I classes (through the public school system) on-site at no charge to students requiring those services.
