Morning Star Christian School offers something truly special, an education that thoughtfully develops the whole child. What sets us apart is our intentional integration of strong academics with a Christ-centered worldview, where students are not only challenged to grow intellectually but also guided to grow in character, faith, and purpose. Our classrooms are filled with engaged learners, caring teachers, and a supportive community that partners closely with families. From early education through middle school, we focus on cultivating curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for learning, while consistently pointing students toward truth, grace, and love. It’s a place where students are known, valued, and equipped to thrive both in school and in life.
On August 8, 1936, Sister Mary Margharita and Sister Catherine Mary, Sisters of the Holy Names came to Bend to develop plans for a convent and school. Funded by the parish families, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School opened its doors on September 21, 1936. The original building consisted of four rooms of equal size. There were two classes to a room and a lunchroom in the basement. The school was heated by a wood furnace. Over time the school grew to include middle school and kindergarten. The parish and the city of Bend also grew. Today, the school sits on a 17-acre campus on the east side of town and serves 121 students. The school is equipped with state of the art technology in every classroom. While we still have middle school and kindergarten, we also serve our littlest students in three and four-year Pre-K classrooms. We continue a 79 year culture of excellence by setting an academic standard in education that is hard to match. Parents participate by volunteering in support of the desire to keep a faith-based education affordable in today's economic climate. Our Catholic heritage is celebrated with the help of the Sisters of Mary of Kakamega , with weekly Masses and school wide events. St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School students perform service hours in the spirit of our patron saint and go on to be a community and academic leaders in Bend's high schools.
Anchored in God's Word, Trinity Lutheran is a forward reaching school where academics are rigorous, discovery is encouraged, and students are prepared to exercise their gifts to impact the global community.
