Welcome to Eastside!

Dear Parents, Supporters, and Community Members:

Whether you're a current family, considering Eastside Lutheran for your child, or simply learning more about our school, we're glad you're here. At Eastside, we believe a quality education begins with a Christ-centered foundation in a caring environment where every child is known and valued.

Our mission is to offer Christ-centered education to our congregation and local Madison community, empowering families to grow in Jesus and tell of His love. That mission shapes all we do—from the classroom to the playground—as we partner with families to help students grow academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally.

Our website is designed to keep you connected with school news, calendars, events, and resources. We invite you to explore all that Eastside has to offer and look forward to partnering with your family as we learn, grow, and share God's love together.

In Christ,

12-1 Student-to-Teacher Ratio

Our small class sizes allow teachers to truly know each student and provide individualized support. Students benefit from personalized attention, stronger relationships, and more opportunities to participate and grow.
