Topeka Lutheran School is accredited by the Kansas State Department of Education and provides a parochial Lutheran education for kindergarten through 8th grade students. The school also supports a state licensed half-day preschool program as well as a full-day preschool/childcare program at the 701 Roosevelt campus. Additionally, the school has a separate campus at 1732 SW Gage in Topeka, which is known as the Center for Young Children (CYC). CYC was established in 1999 and is a state licensed childcare facility and preschool serving infant through pre-kindergarten children.
Topeka Lutheran School’s curriculum is based on the guidelines of the State of Kansas and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
The Topeka Lutheran School Foundation was founded in 1971 to provide financial assistance to the school. The Foundation’s endowment is a fund of assets invested so that a continuing source of income is available for the school's needs. The interest is then used for scholarship aid to students or capital and program improvements at the school.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or activities:
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
