Division for Higher Education and Schools ~ ELCA

The Division for Higher Education and Schools supports the educational activities of the ELCA through its colleges and universities, campus ministries, preschools, and elementary and secondary schools.  It also encourages congregations and synods to support and be involved in public and nonpublic schools.

The division provides advocacy, policy, planning, financial analysis, trends analysis, and oversight services to ELCA colleges and universities.  It
also distributes churchwide funding to these 

institutions and sponsors faculty and staff development programs.  The division oversees the campus ministry program of the church at public and private institutions and initiates nationwide planning and funding for these efforts.

For ELCA early childhood education centers and elementary and secondary schools, the division provides consultative assistance and helps in policy and curriculum development and assistance with recruitment and support of teachers and school leaders.
