Lutheran Elementary School Of Bay Ridge

Lutheran Elementary School of Bay Ridge (LES), has been a place of education, enlightenment, respect, caring and concern since its founding by Bethlehem Lutheran Church in 1957. We offer a high quality education to a multi-religious school population in a nurturing, yet challenging environment. Classes are for children from nursery through 8th grade. Our tradition of academic excellence is virtually unmatched. From a student's earliest years we engage in challenging academic inquiry and the search for guiding Christian values. At a time when instilling strong moral and ethical values is increasingly important, our commitment to Christian education makes LES unique among schools. Equally important are developing strong personal character, self-esteem, leadership, self-discipline, respect for others, social responsibility and community service, tolerance, and an appreciation for all that God provides. LES grew out of the commitment of Bethlehem Lutheran Church to provide a solid education in a moral environment.
