Redeemer Elementary School

An accredited Christian elementary school in North Central Austin where Kindergarten through 5th grade students learn, grow, and thrive through faith, curiosity, and hands-on discovery.

Experienced teachers partner closely with families to nurture each child—spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially—helping them discover their God-given gifts and purpose.

Faith is woven through every subject, helping students connect knowledge with God’s purpose in their lives. Our Lutheran approach to education emphasizes grace, service to others, and a lifelong love of learning.

At Redeemer, students are:
• Known personally and encouraged daily
• Challenged academically through hands-on learning
• Supported by small class sizes and caring teachers
• Grounded in Christian values and service

“Every student is known by name—and valued for the gifts God has given them.”

Faith and Daily Rhythm

Faith at Redeemer feels alive—and full of joy. Each day begins with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the Christian flag pledge, setting a tone of gratitude and purpose. Classrooms make space for “Jesus Time,” where students hear Bible stories, share prayers, and talk about God’s love in ways that feel personal and real.

Weekly Chapel is a mix of fun and tradition, and it’s often the highlight of our week. Guided by Redeemer’s gifted music leadership team, Chapel flows with purpose and energy—seamlessly blending songs, storytelling, and worship that engage every age.

Hands-On Learning

Redeemer’s classrooms are active, creative spaces where students learn by doing. Teachers weave together lessons that engage multiple senses — from science experiments and group projects to creative writing, dramatizations, and problem-solving challenges.

Learning is purposeful, collaborative, and joyful, helping students understand not just what they’re learning, but why it matters.

Academic Overview

Redeemer’s academic program blends strong core instruction with an emphasis on curiosity and critical thinking. Students build a firm foundation in reading, writing, and math through proven, research-based curriculum and personalized attention from experienced teachers. Science and social studies lessons invite discovery through experiments, discussion, and creative projects that connect learning to the world around them.

Each grade level builds on the last, preparing students for the increasing responsibility and independence of upper elementary and middle school.

Class Size & Structure

Small classes mean personalized attention, stronger relationships, and room for each child to thrive.

Our teachers honor the TEKS benchmarks that guide student learning across Texas, while enriching lessons with hands-on exploration, character formation, and faith connections that make learning meaningful and enduring.
