International Student Testimonials
I have been a Martin Luther School student for 4 years now. I wake up early at 7 a.m because our school day starts at 8 a.m. I don’t mind waking up at 7 a.m because I look forward to coming to school. My teacher's passion, my classmate’s warmth wakes me up and gives me strength. When I arrive at school most often I can expect teachers and my friends to turn around and smile, saying “good morning.” These types of connections we have at our school affect me deeply. Choosing to come to America is a big decision. Initially, I was worried about other people's acceptance and judgements on me based on who I am and what I look like. Instead I experienced patience and forgiveness and it was limitless. Teachers at MLS go way beyond to make sure I understand my subjects. I feel lucky to have received an acceptance at MLS. We look forward to welcoming you to our school!
