Bethlehem Lutheran School is a K-8 private, Lutheran school located in Hortonville, Wisconsin. It is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod and is one of the 22 member schools in the Fox Valley Lutheran School System.

Bethlehem Lutheran School, originally named the "German Lutheran School" was established by the Bethlehem Lutheran congregation in 1882. The schoolhouse consisted of a one-room building that stood on the present church site. In 1897 the school was moved to a back room in the church building where classes were taught by the congregation's pastors. The present school was built in 1908 and later more rooms were added in 1949.[1]

After graduation, students generally attend either Fox Valley Lutheran High School in Appleton or enter the district's public school system by attending Hortonville High School.

Busing is provided by the Hortonville Area School District.

In the 2008-2009 school year, an estimated 112 students were enrolled at BLS.[2]
