ST. LOUIS—In response to the growing need among Lutheran educators and administrators for accessible training that clearly teaches the distinctives of the Lutheran faith, Concordia Publishing House (CPH) announced today the launch of Lutheran Educator Academy. This video-based online program is designed to equip teachers in Lutheran schools with essential knowledge and confidence in key faith topics.
Lutheran Educator Academy is built specifically for busy educators—particularly those who may be new to Lutheran teaching or those who are looking for a strong refresher on the Lutheran faith.
“We see extraordinary opportunities ahead for Lutheran education,” said Jonathan D. Schultz, President and CEO of CPH. “Lutheran Educator Academy was created to come alongside the faculty and staff of our Lutheran schools, strengthening their ability to confidently and clearly share the Lutheran faith throughout the entire school day, not only during religion class, so that every educator serving our children is equipped to share the faith with clarity and confidence.”
Lutheran Educator Academy is not intended to replace colloquy programs; rather, it offers a practical, cost-effective foundation in Lutheran theology for teachers and staff.
Each course is taught by an expert in The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod theology and education and can be completed in less than an hour, making the courses easy to incorporate into teachers’ professional development throughout the school year. Courses serve as helpful refreshers for veteran educators and as streamlined onboarding for those unfamiliar with Lutheran teachings.
Key features of Lutheran Educator Academy include the following:
- Theologically trustworthy instruction
Expert‑led courses are curated by curriculum specialists to ensure faithful, high‑impact content. - Accessible, efficient learning
Short, focused video courses are designed for the realities of educators’ busy schedules. - Administrative oversight tools
School leaders can manage user accounts, monitor staff progress, and access the full course library from a centralized dashboard.
