Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in Christian education. Over 50 years ago, the members of our congregation saw a need for Christian education and our school was born. Since that time, generations of students have passed through our school and emerged with a rock-solid foundation for continued learning and an understanding of the grace of God which leaves them well-prepared to face the storms of life. Trusting Hearts Learning Center remains a fantastic option for families that wish to partner with their school to raise their children in the nurture and instruction of the Lord.
But Why Choose Trusting Hearts? 
The economy is rough. Money is tight. As true as those sentences are, it is truer still that children need to know about their Savior and as parents you need to know that you children spend their early years isolated from the worries and temptations of the world around us. We can fulfill both needs here at Trusting Hearts Learning Center.
As a staff we are convinced that Trusting Hearts offers something no other school can provide. Our Christ-centered approach to teaching every subject makes us unique and offers an education unavailable in public schools. Our dependence on Scripture alone—the Word of God without any additions or subtractions—sets us apart from any other Christian school.
As its name suggests, Trusting Hearts Learning Center prepares young children for life beyond our doors and yours by teaching them that at all times they can lean on their Savior and trust the promises He gives them in His word. Promises they hear on a daily basis.
Palos Lutheran is staffed with loving teachers who take a genuine interest in providing your child with an education of the highest quality. Because we are free from government restrictions and bureaucracy, Lutheran learning centers can choose curriculum that works. We can avoid politically-motivated trends and educational experiments that always come with costs. At Trusting Hearts we adjust as needed to meet the needs of our students without the threat of test scores determining our future.
A Tradition of Educational Excellence
At Trusting Hearts, we benefit from a long history of success in parochial education. We are not without a connection to authority or accountability. We have a link to a larger educational system with the resources to achieve success. Palos Lutheran Church and Trusting Hearts Learning Center is a proud part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (the WELS) – a group of believers dedicated to proclaiming the message of the Gospel throughout the world. As a part of the WELS, our school is a member of a nationally recognized family of Christian education institutions. The Lutheran Elementary Schools of the WELS make up the 4th largest private/parochial school system in the United States. The WELS maintains:
- 364 early childhood ministries
- 357 Lutheran Elementary Schools
- 24 Lutheran High Schools – the closest, Illinois Lutheran High School, is located in Crete, Illinois
- Two Lutheran Colleges
- One Lutheran Seminary
- Two worker training colleges
- 2,832 professional educators
- 41,000+ students preschool through grade 12
You Belong Here!
Trusting Hearts is a community of families who share like values. We all value Christian education, we all value responsibility and hard work, and we all value student success. Because we share like values, we function as a greater family; we work together and support each other for the same goals. This also creates an environment of safety and belonging – blessings every child needs to succeed.
We aren’t perfect and we are always looking for ways to improve our program and facility. But we are the best option for your child in these ever-important early years of development. Please call (708-448-2260) and set up an appointment to visit us and meet our teachers. I’m convinced that you will see our commitment to each child and a program that is teaching young minds and preparing young hearts.
Yours in Christ,
