Since the doors opened at Luther Academy, a holistic approach to education of the mind, body, and spirit has characterized academics at Luther. Over the years programs have been examined, revised, and added to provide the best in education. At the high school campus, the International Baccalaureate program was introduced in 1984. A film program for grades 10 through 12 began in 1999, and an IB French class was launched in 2000. Growing academic needs required larger facilities, and in 1989, a classroom and library wing was added to the Royal Street campus. At the university campus, as a federated college of the University of Regina, Luther has earned an excellent academic reputation for its interdisciplinarity and innovative academic programming.  Interdisciplinary studies began at Luther and has grown to include two first-year courses, study abroad courses, and a new arts and culture major as a joint initiative with the Faculties of Arts and Fine Arts.  The English-Science first-year cohort program has been running since 2000.  A United Nations University Regional Centre of Expertise in Education for Sustainable Development is headquartered at Luther under Dr Roger Petry. The teaching of 19 full-time faculty members is complemented by a number of sessional instructors, and state-of-the-art instructional technology exists in all classrooms, enhancing students’ learning experiences at Luther.
