Giving
&
Impact

At Our Saviour Lutheran School, we uphold the goal of our school’s vision with great seriousness: Our students will recognize the example set for them and be uplifted to work towards the betterment of society in an ever-changing world. Your gifts lead us forward in the holistic growth of our young people, especially knowing that they are being prepared to face the grand challenges of life’s complexities.

We are committed to transforming the student learning experience, especially focused on that which the Church throughout the world has overlooked for far too long – intentional work towards justice & equity. Our Bronx location in the heart of the city gives our school the unique mission opportunity to serve BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color) communities that are far too often underserved and overlooked. We fearlessly engage the needs of those who have been affected by historic injustice, oppression, and inequality through education and the Gospel in a way that other schools are not positioned or equipped. Our students leave OSL as resourceful young adults made ready for college and the workforce. This is not possible without the help of our partners and donors – that means YOU.

Scaled Tuition at OSL

At OSL, we are committed to making high-quality education accessible to families in the Bronx, the boroughs of NYC, and beyond. We recognize affordability is an important consideration for many families, which is why we offer scaled tuition.

Our scaled tuition model is a means of helping as many families as possible afford excellent education for their children. We know this is often the greatest priority, and FACTS, our school’s tuition management system, provides a clear, impartial, and transparent process for determining every student’s financial eligibility.

Scaled tuition is a range that spans from approximately 25-75% of the full cost of education at OSL. No family at OSL pays the true cost of tuition, which we hope to continue allowing thanks to the generosity of our annual donors and our City To Come scholarship fund.

Learn more about the cost of tuition for 2024-25.

Scholarship Offerings

We offer significant scholarship opportunities, alongside considerable financial assistance. We never want the cost of tuition to be a burden that would not allow students to receive their education at OSL. Instead, our tuition is still the lowest for a private education in the Bronx and the third lowest in the metro NY area. Learn more about the scholarships that we offer and inquire about their availability.

Seth Ernest

Seth Ernest is a gifted young man, born and raised in the Bronx, New York. Raised by his mother, Seth showed incredible gifts of intelligence and has continued to grow academically. At the same time, Seth’s faith has grown throughout his life and he has shown an interest in sharing that faith through words and actions.

At OSL, Seth has continued to have his Christian faith shaped and challenged, exhibiting upstanding character while asking thoughtful questions. He has also maintained his life as a leader among his fellow students, showing what it means to uplift his neighbor and care for his community.

During the summer between his junior and senior year, Seth also embarked on an incredible experience, serving as an intern at one of our partner congregations – Cornerstone Lutheran Church in Carmel, IN. Under the guidance of OSL’s dear friend & former Brooklynite, Pastor Jason Taber, Seth served among the members of the church and the neighboring community in Carmel. He also learned more about the life of the members and how God calls many with different gifts to serve in the life of the church

For this incredible student, the support of those who donate and give to our school allowed him the opportunity to grow and care for those whom he loves here in the Bronx while being part of our “OSL Family”. We love you, Seth!

OSL - Grad Book

Jaylynn Santos

Jaylynn came to OSL during her middle school years, needing to have a safe environment in which to grow and learn. After the death of her grandmother, the woman who raised and loved her during her upbringing, Jaylynn truly yearned for people who would continue to love and care for her alongside her grandfather and sibilings.

Of course, losing someone to whom one is close during a young age is very difficult. At the same time, Jaylynn trusted our faculty and staff to help her through the challenges and allowed many to serve as mentors, willing to raise her throughout her time at OSL. Always willing to speak boldly about her ideas and thoughts, Jaylynn also had an entrpreneurial spirit, having a passion and desire to start her own esthetician career. Through creative scheduling, Jaylynn actually used her internship opportunity to spark her esthetician work, setting her up for a future career.

At the same time, Jaylynn continued to grow alongside our OSL community, becoming a familiar face for many in our school. She served many community service hours through dedicated work after regular school hours. She also spent some of her time at OSL as a student-athlete, playing for our Lady Falcons volleyball team.

Thanks to her willingness to learn, grow, and trust those in our school community, we are excited that Jaylynn graduated and began her career as an esthetician & beautician. Through the support of our givers and friends of our school and community, Jaylynn is looking forward to being an inspiration for those who are able to follow the example she set during her time at Our Saviour Lutheran School. We love you, Jaylynn, and we are very proud of you!
