- Martin Luther is part of the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program. Under this program, funded by the State of Wisconsin, parents have a voice in how their tax dollars are spent on the education of their children.
- At Martin Luther, we believe parents are best equipped to decide what school is the best fit for their child. This program allows more families to choose Christian education for their sons or daughters.
- Martin Luther encourages all qualifying families to apply. Please note that only Martin Luther Kindergarten and First Grade students (in 2024-2025) and students transferring from public schools or being homeschooled are eligible to enroll for the first time.
