I enrolled my daughter at Cross as I wanted a christian pre school enviroment and more than got it my daughter loved it, so much so that she still is there in 3rd grade and her sixth year at school, despite moving out of the area some 3 years ago we still make the 40 minute commute each way to enable her to go to this wonderful school, great teachers, great academics,great sports and God, what more could you want.

I am a former Cross student. I have always been amazed with the teachers and the staff. They all made a HUGE impact on my life and still do. My preschool teacher (Mrs. Miller) was and still is an amazing person who I hold dear to my heart. I could have never asked for a better education from Cross.
Cross Lutheran is a great place for children to grow and learn in a Christ centered environment. Preschoolers learn in a nurturing and caring classroom using the Projects approach to teaching young minds. We are very proud of our Preschool program. Cross is excited to be offering expanded options for 3 and 4 year olds next year. Brand new to Cross next year will be our 2 year old program.
Cross Lutheran has been providing quality Christian education in the Yorkville community since 1881.
We feel very Blessed that our daughter was able to attened Cross from 3 year preschool all the way through 8th grade. The education was wonderful, and the christian atmosphere was what we wanted for her. She is now a freshmen at Yorkville High School and is on the high honor roll. We feel that cross has given her the right tools to move on and do well in High School.
We love Cross! My oldest child attended preschool there and is now in Kindergarten, looking forward to 1st grade next year! My daughter is currently in the 3yr old program, and our youngest will go there as well. We can't say enough good things about Cross, the faculty, and the loving, family atmosphere. I know my children are in good hands and are receiving a wonderful education, as well as growing in their faith!
My daughter always looks forward to school. It's structured yet fun! Perfect for my preschooler.
Enrolled my twin daughters in pre-school and am so excited. They will experience many wonderful things including the caring staff, spiritual wellness, educated by top teachers and a fantastic environment! Family and friends have attended Cross School and I've never heard better results for the kids!
My 2 older boys are in high school now but received a great spiritual and academic start at Cross Lutheran. My youngest son loved pre-school at Cross. The teachers were wonderful and the project approach to learning provided a great way to learn about topics of interest. He also interacted with kids in the upper grades during chapel and as reading buddies. It was so nice to see the older kids helping the younger ones.
We moved to Yorkville so that our daughter could attend Cross School and our family Cross Church. While she started in Kindergarten, many of her classmates started in pre-school and they are a living testimony to what a Christ centered education can provide, both academically and spiritually. We are blessed with great teachers, a terrific Pastoral staff, and a loving congregation. Come join us in worship and visit our school.
Cross has been a great preschool for my 3 girls! I can't wait to see how the expanded program for 2's, 3's and 4's will serve the community in the future! Not only are my two older children well-adjusted, successful students in primary grades now, testifying to the academic and social preparedness of the program, but my youngest is constantly eager to learn more and just the other day was talking about how Jesus is her best friend and how she learned it is important to not be too busy for Him!
I must vote for Cross' pre-school. My third child will finish there this year. The two oldest are doing wonderfully academically, socially and spriritually in gradeschool due to the wonderful whole-child care and learning they received. I couldn't ask for anything more from a pre-school!
I was involved in the Cross School Board when we migrated to using the Project approach in pre-school many years back, and what a wonderful way for young children to learn. My 4 kids are older, but they interacted with the pre-schoolers through programs like "reading buddies" and in chapel services. The caring family environment along with the chance to nurture faith and learner at a young age cannot be beat.
Both of my children went to Preschool at Cross. It was a great experience. The loving and caring environment was awesome.
Cross is the BEST!!!! The caring teachers and hands on, project approach are what drew us here 9 years ago! The Christian and family atmosphere are what has kept us here! Not to mention the incredible academics! It is truly an amazing school!!!!
I sent all 3 children here. The main reason was for the Christian atmosphere. The learning and writing began at an early level - they are educationally prepared as teenagers because of it.

I love being a part of Cross Lutheran School. I love having my oldest in the preschool here and am excited for my other two to go to this school as well. I am also very excited for the preschool programs we will be offering next year.
