Academically, Concordia Preparatory School offers a competitive college-preparatory program. Students may also elect to take Dual Credit courses enabling them to receive college credit as well as high school credit for their course. Students graduating from CPS are prepared academically, socially and spiritually as they continue the next phase of their lives.

Concordia Preparatory School is affiliated with the Lutheran Church Missouri-Synod and offers a college-preparatory curriculum. High school serves as a bridge to the college and adult years. It is vital during these four years of secondary education that students are fully prepared for the challenges ahead, not only in college, but also in life. Concordia Preparatory School benefits students by instilling a spiritual foundation predicated on Christ. With this foundation in place, our students are equipped to go into “the real world” knowing the true importance of faith, prayer, and Christian friends.

Each student must successfully complete a minimum of 26.5 credits to graduate from Concordia Preparatory School. The 26.5 credit course of study prepares students for most colleges and universities and earns a high school diploma.
