Asia Lutheran Education Association (ALEA)  is a collegial organization of educators, PS-12 schools and post-secondary institutions focused on the highest quality education while establishing Christian communities throughout Asia.  ALEA was founded in 2002.

Located in many Asian countries, Lutheran Schools and institutions promote high quality academic and Christian education programs, continuous training of teachers and leaders, seek the highest quality educators, encourage international conversations on education and build caring faith communities serving students and their families.   These schools serve a variety of students from local students to international students.  They range in size from less than fifty students to thousands of students. Regardless of size, the schools strive for excellence in vibrant spiritual learning communities.

Over the decades of the last century, the Lutheran Church-Missouri synod started many schools as have other Lutheran churches.  The schools have often worked alone but now are coming together to learn from each other and network regionally and internationally with schools, universities and churches.  Lutheran schools are located in such countries as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, New Guinea, Australia, India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia.

The present ALEA goals are cooperative teacher and administrator recruitment strategies, expanding teacher and leadership training opportunities and developing vibrant communities for out reach and service.

The mission of the Asia Lutheran Education Association is networking, equipping and nurturing leaders, educators and schools to advance the Christ-centered ministries of Asia Lutheran churches.
