Welcome to Oak Grove Lutheran Elementary School! We are excited to share the Oak Grove opportunities with you. We hope this information will allow you to see how Oak Grove is a unique community of learners that may be part of your educational future!
Oak Grove Lutheran Elementary School was established in 2005 in south Fargo. The elementary school is located at 2720 32nd Avenue South. The facility is ideal for elementary education, complete with a Natural Playground that facilitates hands-on learning and imaginative play. Our Early Learning Center, housing our preschool and pre-kindergarten program, is located in the building directly to the east of the elementary school.
The Oak Grove Early Learning Center program is a preschool & pre-kindergarten program for 3, 4, and 5 year olds. It is designed to provide developmentally appropriate activities for each child. Oak Grove offers a full day, five day or three day per week program for 4 and 5 year olds, and a half day, two day per week program for 3 year olds. Oak Grove’s Early Learning Center is an exciting place children want to come and experience many domains of learning: social and emotional development, language development, mathematical thinking, science and problem solving, creative thinking and expression, motor development (large and small) and spiritual growth in a setting that is safe and comfortable.
The Oak Grove elementary program offers a strong academic program for students in pre-kindergarten through grade five. The school nurtures curious and interactive learners who thrive and excel academically, spiritually, and emotionally, building on the solid foundation of Christian teaching and Christ-like character. Through small class sizes, students receive individual attention that encourages them to reach their full potential as students. Oak Grove is proud to post student scores double digits higher on standardized tests compared to the state average.
The school partners with groups in the Fargo-Moorhead community to enrich the academic experience and provide rich and unique experiences for its students. Oak Grove works with Minnesota State University Moorhead and Concordia College for classroom experimentation and field trip opportunities that go beyond the traditional classroom setting, enhancing math and science curriculum. The school is also a part of the national Adopt A School program with the Sons of Norway, which provides intergenerational and cultural experiences. The Grover Buddy Program is a unique opportunity in which Oak Grove’s high school students mentor elementary students.
We are passionately committed to nurturing our students that step through our doors to be well equipped leaders in his/her community and world.
