Cornerstone Lutheran School
(Formerly Mt. Olive Lutheran School - beginning July 1, 2026)
Cornerstone Lutheran School is the newly formed school entity jointly shared and supported by Mount Olive Lutheran Church, Peace Lutheran Church, and Eagle Lake Lutheran Church. Through this partnership, the three congregations are united in their commitment to provide Christ-centered education, shared governance, and long-term sustainability for the school. Cornerstone Lutheran School represents a collaborative ministry built on a shared mission, while working together to serve students and families now and into the future.
You may see older communications labeled with “NewCo,” which was our placeholder name until the new name of the school was announced.

The financial aid from member contribution support is available only for members of the association congregations. To maximize this amount, enroll and apply for aid as early as possible. Your estimated financial aid package should be ready in April 2026. This can only lower your out-of-pocket costs, it can never increase them.

Care Share
Care Share is above and beyond financial aid support. It is applicable to all student families whether members of an association congregation or not. These funds are distributed by Cornerstone and influenced by FACTs information, so families must apply for financial aid to receive any funds.
