Who We Are

In Western PA since 1866

Pre-K to 12th Grade at 10 Locations

Since the inception of our first school in 1866, the Pittsburgh Area Lutheran Schools (PALS) have upheld a long-standing tradition of nurturing children in the Western Pennsylvania region. LCMS operates the largest Protestant parochial school system in America. Our affiliation with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod provides PALS with a connection to over 6,000 congregations and networks PALS with over 1,200 schools nationwide and worldwide.

Tuition is affordable because of the support of sponsoring congregations. Financial assistance and scholarships are also available to families in need who wish to provide a Christian education for their child.

Please feel welcome to visit a Pittsburgh Area Lutheran School in your area. The caring, dedicated faculty and staff of a PALS school are waiting to talk to you and your family about a quality Christian education.
