Westlake Lutheran Academy adding new campus building

Westlake Lutheran Academy will add a new building to keep up with the growth of students, Chief Advancement Officer Bret Walter confirmed.

The academy initially opened as an elementary school in 2008 and has since added middle school offerings, Walter said. The campus also welcomed its first ninth grade class in 2025 and will continue to add a grade each year.

What’s happening?

As it prepares to accommodate students in pre-K through 12th grade, Walter said the new 17,000-square-foot building will primarily support high schoolers, but younger students will utilize it as well.

The building—which is expected to cost nearly $6 million—will have five main classrooms, a teacher conference room, administrative space and a multipurpose space.

On the horizon

Construction began in December 2025 and it is expected to be completed in the spring 2027, Walter said.
