Enrollment documents will be added to your child’s account upon admittance. You’ll need to complete online forms and submit the following documents:
At Our Redeemer Lutheran School, we offer Rolling Enrollment, which means families can apply at any time during the year—there’s no fixed admissions or application deadline. This flexible approach allows families to move forward when they’re ready, without having to wait for a specific enrollment period. We understand that every family’s situation and timing are unique, and our goal is to make joining the ORLS community as smooth and accessible as possible.
Because space in each class is limited, we encourage families to apply early to secure their child’s spot. Enrollment decisions are made regularly throughout the year as applications are received, ensuring that students can begin their Our Redeemer journey as soon as possible. Whether you’re relocating, seeking a better educational fit, or just discovering what makes Our Redeemer special, our rolling admissions process makes it easy to become part of a school where faith, character, and learning grow together.
At Our Redeemer Lutheran School, we believe that the enrollment process should be as seamless as the learning journey itself. That’s why we use a Continuous Enrollment model — designed to simplify things for our families and help our school plan confidently for the future.
Once a family signs an admissions contract for their child’s school level — Early Childhood, Elementary, or Middle School — that student remains enrolled at Our Redeemer year after year, unless the family notifies us otherwise. There’s no need to re-apply or re-enroll annually. Families can simply enjoy the peace of mind that their child’s place at Our Redeemer is secure.
We do understand that circumstances can change, which is why we provide a withdrawal window each year. If a family chooses not to return and notifies us before this window closes, there is no financial penalty. After that time, families may be responsible for a portion of the following year’s tuition, as our staffing, classroom placements, and resource planning are based on returning students.
Continuous Enrollment allows us to focus more on what truly matters — nurturing your child’s growth in faith, character, and learning — while giving families a more convenient, worry-free experience.
Tuition is billed over 10 months of the year from July through May with no payment due in January. Fees for supplies, field trips, etc are due as a Comprehensive Fee at the time you complete your contract and in January every year there after.
The Board of Our Redeemer Lutheran School understands that private school tuition is a substantial financial investment for many families and therefore takes the responsibility of establishing annual tuition for our students seriously. It is our goal to keep Our Redeemer Lutheran School accessible to all families of qualified students. For any family that would be like to be considered for tuition assistance, please contact our main office and inquire about financial assistance: 214-368-1465.
Financial assistance is only available for elementary students that have already submitted an application to Our Redeemer Lutheran School. To begin the admissions process, please schedule a visit with our admissions team.

Our Redeemer administers MAP assessments. MAP Growth measures what students know and informs what they’re ready to learn next. By dynamically adjusting to each student’s responses, MAP Growth creates a personalized assessment experience that accurately measures performance. Timely, easy-to-use reports help teachers teach, students learn, and administrators lead.
Our Redeemer uses the percentile grading system. Parents can see grades online through our school information system. Parents are given mid-quarter progress reports, quarterly report cards, and semi-annual teacher conferences.
