Luther Preparatory School (LPS or Luther Prep), established in 1995, is a residential four-year secondary school located in Watertown, Wisconsin, USA and is owned and operated by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). LPS, along with its sister prep school Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw, Michigan, focus on preparing students to become WELS pastors and teachers and to continue their education at Martin Luther College (MLC), a WELS college in New Ulm, Minnesota. Curriculum at LPS focuses on the liberal arts and religious studies. In a given year, half or more LPS graduates will usually continue their studies at MLC.
LPS has enrollment of approximately 415 students, with slightly more girls than boys; three-fourths of these live in dormitories on the 40-acre (160,000 m2) campus. The campus has a main classroom building, dormitories, a student union/gymnasium, an auditorium, and cafeteria. There are several sports fields, including a track, tennis courts, a football field, a soccer field, and softball and baseball fields. There are currently 35 full-time faculty members and eight additional piano instructors. Ten tutors live with students in the dormitories.

“Here is everything which can lay hold of the eye, ear and imagination—everything which can charm and bewitch the simple and ignorant. I wonder how Luther ever broke the spell.”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
