ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — Students at Emmanuel Lutheran are busy as bees preparing for an upcoming visual arts and music show. Every student at the school will have a couple pieces on display.

Their art teacher, Tammy Reilly, says the students have been learning about all different styles of art. "I like they show different ways of art like impressionism and cubism and stuff like that," said Viktoria, who likes art.

For this week’s blog, we thought we would do something a little bit different and discuss the somewhat more abstract topic of what it means to have a Christian worldview.[1] It might be a little longer than our normal articles, but we feel like it's incredibly relevant to modern Christians growing up in a very non-Christian context. 

An Emmanuel Parent answered some of our questions...

1. Why did you choose Emmanuel?

“We have four kids all together, and 3 years ago we were looking for a school where our three elementary aged kids could attend all together. We also wanted a loving, Christian environment and teachers who could both challenge and work with our kids in the areas they needed it most. We were looking for a place where they could broaden themselves as people, experience sports, the arts and service. I’m happy to say, we have found all of that at Emmanuel!”

Since 1958, Emmanuel Lutheran School has served students and families in Asheville, North Carolina. We have always been committed to both sharing the gospel with our community and providing the highest quality academic experience. Our commitment to these aspects of education has helped us fulfill our mission to prepare children For Today, For Tomorrow, Forever. 

At ELS, we find that Christian education and STEAM go together like two peas in a pod. In this post, we are discussing how students benefit from focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics in a gospel-centered academic environment.
