Meet the Teachers
Kindergarten
Lily Piening
Lily is a recent graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and is married to her husband, Collin, whom she met through Christian Challenge, the college ministry of Sower Church. They have been attending Sower Church since 2022. A lifelong resident of Lincoln, Lily was raised in a family of educators, with both her mother and grandfather having had careers in teaching. She has been actively involved by using her skills to teach Sunday School.
“I am thrilled to embrace classical education and to have the opportunity to impart its timeless values to students. It is a true privilege to teach Kindergarten at Liberty Classical School, and I am deeply grateful for the foundation this approach provides in shaping well-rounded, thoughtful learners.”

Laura Korell
Laura is a wife, mother, homemaker, and part of the Liberty Classical founding team. She grew up on a farm in Eastern Colorado, and met and married her husband, Lincoln, in college. They moved to Nebraska in 2017 when he started law school at UNL. Sower Church has been their church home since then, and Laura regularly teaches the 4- and 5-year-old Sunday school class.
Laura taught elementary school for 5 years and then “retired” when her son was born. Now that he is ready for school, she is excited to return to the classroom.
“I can’t wait to share classical education with our littlest students. Liberty Classical School has been in our hearts for many years, and it’s a joy to participate as the Jr. Kindergarten teacher this first year. I am thankful to bless my own son and our community with a high-quality, God-fearing education.”
This is the education we want for our own children, and we invite you to join us!

Liberty Classical School is a full-time, private Christian Classical school in Lincoln, NE. We exist to educate children that they may know and love the truth. We partner with parents to establish men and women who glorify God as loyal servants. We equip our students to be formidable adversaries of falsity and all other enemies of God. We believe that the primary end for education is not merely survival, but glory—glory in the truth and Glory to God—the Father, the Spirit and the Son—on Earth as it is in Heaven. Amen
