St. Paul's School began in 1885 and is a prekindergarten through grade eight elementary school that is owned and operated by St. Paul's Lutheran Church.  The church, a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), has a long history of supporting full time Christian Education.

The school is also supported by St. John's Lutheran Church, of New Ulm.  St. John's supplies four of the staff.  It also pays a partial tuition for students of their congregation who attend.

St. Paul's Lutheran is staffed by thirteen teachers and Principals Paul Fritze and Dale Markgraf. Four pastors and a staff minister also conduct catechism lessons with fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students during school hours.
