From May 12 to May 27, 16 students from Martin Luther School in Plzen, Czech Republic will be experiencing TSL first hand. They will be living with a host families from our 6th and 7th grades. The Czech students will have the opportunity to experience the dynamic of Christian home life - something that is rare for them. They will also get a chance to practice their English and see some of the sights in the Watertown area. This type of experience is a tremendous blessing for both the students from Plzen and our students and families as well. |

Education is very important in the Czech Republic. The literacy rate is 97%. It was decided soon after mission work began that a good way to reach people with the Gospel would be through a Christian Day School. In the fall of 1992 the school opened its doors to students from Kindergarten through grade nine. Classes were held in a rented facility in Skvrnany. The enrollment was 37. In the fall of 1995 Martin Luther School moved to the newly renovated building at Skolni namesti 1 (pictured above). The purchase and renovation of this building have allowed the school to grow. The enrollment for the 2003-2004 school year was 192. |
