At Luther College High School, we offer a small, close-knit, and caring environment where students are challenged academically and prepared for success in post-secondary education. Our unique courses and programs, like German, film and video, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, give students opportunities they won’t find anywhere else. Plus, our diverse community allows students to meet peers from all over the world.
We’re looking for students whose goals and attitudes align with the experience and programs we offer. During the application process, we carefully consider references, report cards, and the student’s own comments to understand their enthusiasm, attitude, and eagerness to invest in their education.

Chapel is a unique and important tradition at Luther College. It’s a daily gathering where the whole school comes together to reflect, learn, and be entertained. It’s not a typical church service but you will sometimes hear religious viewpoints from various faiths, including Christianity. Chapel helps build our strong community of support and respect, with content that varies from devotions and guest speakers to fun SRC activities.
Grade 9 students take 6 classes per semester, plus a lunch period. With two semesters in a school year, that’s a total of 12 classes. While grade 9 students cannot take a spare, they may choose a Study Hall period each semester.
As an international school, we have a highly diverse student body, which helps our students develop respect and empathy for others. We have programs like chapel, international cafes, and a harassment prevention policy to create a supportive and respectful environment. Our Grade 9 transitions class also teaches appropriate social media use, and our counselors are available to help students with any issues they may be facing.
Homework varies depending on the class, but our teachers ensure that students know how much each assignment contributes to their grade. This helps students manage their time effectively. Teachers also coordinate their course loads to avoid overwhelming students with high-value assignments at the same time.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is an academically rigorous, enriched program that covers and extends beyond Saskatchewan curricula. It is a globally recognized and acclaimed standard for university preparation.
As an accredited IB World School, Luther teachers are held to a fair and universal standard of evaluating and assessing our students. “Luther marks” may differ from an average high school in Saskatchewan, but there is no “standard” of marks – grades vary within the province. Luther alumni find that once they enter university, their marks don’t drop.
Luther has a wide variety of extracurricular activities. Our students have received national recognition in improv and debate, and our musical groups are well-known. In athletics, we have strong soccer and hockey teams, and we’re proud to host the longest-running student basketball tournament in Canada, L.I.T.
