The Lutheran West Promise
In 2011, the school coined the phrase "The Lutheran West Promise" that encompasses six distinct aspects of student life:
- Christian Principles: Christian principles are taught and guide every aspect of a student's educational experience.
- Rigorous Academics: Students are prepared for both college and life.
- Nurturing Community: Each individual is valued and nurtured in a caring Christian community.
- Servant Leadership: Opportunities are provided to develop outreach leadership skills.
- Challenging Opportunities: Students are involved in a wealth of challenging activities that develop the whole person.
- Life Purpose / Vocation: Students are encouraged to begin exploring God's purpose for his/her life.
Through The Lutheran West Promise, students are engaged in a Christian community where each individual has value and is prepared, encouraged and challenged to excel. It is a promise Lutheran West has delivered on for over 50 years.

Famous quotes containing the words west and/or promise:
“Women born at the turn of the century have been conditioned not to speak openly of their wedding nights. Of other nights in bed with other men they speak not at all. Today a woman having bedded with a great general feels free to tell us that in bed the general could not present arms. Women of my generation would have spared the great general the revelation of this failure.”
—Jessamyn West (1907–1984)
“Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you.”
—William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
