ABOUT LUTHERAN SCHOOLS

 

Lutherans have established schools in our country for over 350 years.  These schools exist for some or all of the following reasons.

 

  1. To nurture faith
  2. To help students grow in grace and knowledge
  3. To teach the Word
  4. To communicate and establish Christian Values
  5. To equip for Christian service
  6. To reach out with the Gospel to others

 

WHY?  Why choose Lutheran Schools?  Why choose to pay for an education at a Lutheran school versus another parochial or a public school.  There are many reasons!  Students who attend Lutheran schools report higher self esteem; lower discipline problems and high levels of academic achievement.

WHY SALEM?

 

This is a question that many families examine when looking for an educational home for their child.  Here are some of the experts on the situation:

 

Teachers:

 

We have Jesus in our school.

 

Character education means the teaching, modeling, and practicing of Christian values taught just that way.

 

All discipline problems can be approached with the thought that all parties are valued children of God. Prayer and forgiveness can be shared freely.

 

Our small size promotes ease of getting to know staff, students, and parents. Being recognized and greeted in the hall by someone not "in your class" is a way to feel welcome.

The school and church are one family.

 

Christian education is priority. Family atmosphere.
