Community Friends
You don't have to attend an FVL Federation elementary school or Lutheran church to become part of the Fox Valley Lutheran community. Each year, students from public schools, private schools, and homeschools choose FVL for a Christ-centered education, strong academics, and meaningful relationships.
Our caring, qualified teachers are dedicated to shining the light of God's Word in every subject. FVL will help your teen to develop academically, spiritually, socially, and physically.
In a typical year, FVL has over 100 students enrolled from local public, private, and homeschools.

Activities for Area Students and Families
The Future Foxes tab lists opportunities available to all our community friends. Youth sports, summer camps, clinics, and events happen throughout the year.
The calendar below lists upcoming athletic events, concerts, and plays. We look forward to seeing you!
We're not Lutheran - Can my student attend FVL?
Yes. Each year students from various faiths and Christian denominations attend FVL. Before enrollment, our administrative pastor meets personally with each family to make sure that FVL will be able to serve each student's spiritual needs. This allows the parents and students to ask any questions they might have about FVL religion classes, chapel services, and FVL's Christian culture.
Do all students take religion classes at FVL?
Yes. As a Christian school, biblical teaching is integrated throughout the curriculum. All students participate in religion classes and daily chapel services. You can also learn more about why families choose FVL and how faith shapes student life.
What if my student doesn't know anyone at FVL?
Many students attend FVL without knowing other students beforehand. Because students come from across the Fox River Valley and around the world, new friendships are formed every year. Clubs, athletics, music, art, robotics, academic teams, and other activities provide many ways for students to get involved and connect with peers who share similar interests.
