Welcome to Winnebago Lutheran Academy

As I greet students new to the Academy, I make sure to tell them that they are going to love it here. Over the years and the alumni weddings, births, and other celebrations that simple saying rings so true. They do indeed treasure their time spent at WLA; they truly love it here.

WLA is a choice set apart from other high school options you may consider. Here you will find:

  • Meaning: Whatever we do and wherever we go, we learn that our faith, our future, and our meaning is found in our loving Lord and Savior.
  • Belonging: WLA exists to serve not only our students, but their families, too, by providing a welcoming, safe, and supportive community. We grow, learn, compete, celebrate, and succeed together as a team, a class, and an Academy. This togetherness lasts well beyond graduation.
  • Purpose: WLA celebrates and equips students for all post-high school destinations: military, trade, career, college, ministry, and family. It is an education that has purpose for life and eternity.

While a Christian background is not required for admission, we build our curriculum and other activities on the Word of God. The truth of the Word guides our teaching and God’s grace in the Word guides our interactions.

I hope you’ll come to see how meaning, belonging, and purpose best define our Viking family.

Looking forward to meeting you soon.
