Christian Education for Life
We help students navigate the rocky high school years.
Our teachers don't just teach, they invest in the lives of their students. We prepare students for college and whatever journey God has planned for their lives.
Christian Education for Life
We educate students not just for college acceptances, but for a meaningful life of learning and serving their Savior in whatever journey God has planned for them. From personal growth in faith huddles to the academic rigor of science courses, from developing skills in athletics to learning to serve each other despite our differences; we understand the challenges high school students face, and we value mentoring students throughout these sometimes rocky years.
Rocky Mountain Lutheran is an accredited, Christian high school located in the Denver metro area. We provide a college prep curriculum, a five days per week schedule, higher than average college entrance scores, and teachers who value mentoring high school students.
Our mission is to use the Word of God to prepare students as disciples of Christ by nurturing their spiritual life and developing their intellectual, physical, and social skills for dedicated service to their Savior.

Tuition Payment Help
If you didn’t know about SVL Concessions before, it is another way to offset the cost of tuition. This group operates concession stands at Coors Field and Ball Arena, as well as other entertainment venues around the city. Some parents are able to pay their entire tuition and additional fees by working at these stands - tax-free! If you would like more information on SVL Concessions, please contact Joel Hahn at svlconcessions@gmail.com.
We look forward to another school year beginning in August and pray for a blessed future for all of our Class of 2023 graduates!
As a private school that desires to keep tuition affordable for families, we are grateful for the support of our nineteen Federation churches along the Rocky Mountains.
Our parent church body is the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). WELS has operated schools since the 1850s and is one of the largest private educational systems in the United States, including one seminary, two colleges, two prep schools, twenty-four high schools, over three hundred elementary schools, and over four hundred preschools.
