The ELCSS/S is operating over 20 basic schools driven by the commitment to the Gospel and focused on the mission of bringing hope and healing to the students and families. In these schools, kids are taught how they can share their faith, care for others, demonstrate integrity, learn and pray. Through the schools, the ELCSS/S aims to lay a strong foundation of Christian teaching aimed at preparing men and women for further studies at the seminary and other institutions of higher learning.
