IEP Coordinator - Martin Luther School at Gemma Services

At Martin Luther School, part of Gemma Services, we do school differently. 

We are an Approved Private School for students who benefit from emotional support, and we believe they deserve it all: challenge, opportunity, and the joy that comes from real learning. 

Here's what sets us apart: 

• Strong academics that push students to grow and build confidence
• Creative electives and activities that spark curiosity and expression
• Competitive athletics that foster pride, teamwork, and resilience

All of this happens in a community that’s structured, caring, and truly committed to every student’s growth - academically, socially, and emotionally. 

Our mission is to instruct the mind, engage the heart, and empower the will. At MLS, students do not just get support, they get the kind of full, rich school experience that prepares them for life.
