At Salem Lutheran School the faculty and staff focus incessantly on each child's individuality and growth in their God-given abilities. This desire to provide excellence in every educational aspect has earned the school the distinction of being an EXEMPLARY SCHOOL by the NLSA accrediting commission for the 2010-2011 school year!!! Of greatest note from the commission was Salem's integrated technology program, excellence in academics in content and test scores, service to community, and praise from the High School's into which Salem students matriculate. In a developmental approach to education, children are not categorized, but individualized, and given the opportunity to explore the wonders of God's creation through academics, arts, sciences, technology, and athletics. Developing the whole child through all aspects of Christian education is the goal of Salem, and this is best accomplished in a partnership that acknowledges God and His word as the guiding principal that parents and the school use in raising children in a Christian world view of love and service to others. To clearly understand God's purpose for people it is imperative that daily nurturing in God's word take place. Students daily learn about God's great love for them through bible study and through weekly chapels. With the advent of technology it is possible to read and grow together at www.oneyearbibleonline.com. Each day contains a passage from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs. I welcome you to join me in experiencing God's word of life, and to be renewed and empowered in this life-changing walk; and to come to understand Real Joy in Life through Jesus Christ. If you have any thoughts you would like to share with me regarding any aspect of Salem please do so through the following link or do not hesitate to contact the school office (714) 639-1946. share your thoughts In His Name Mr. Philip G. Duerr, Principal |

Welcome to Salem Lutheran School! Salem is the Hebrew word for "PEACE" and it is through this identification that the school offers a distinctive Christian education focused on the individual God-given abilities inherent to each child. In a society that indoctrinates individuals in a world-view of self and personal gain, children struggle to create their own self-identity when the goal is based on shifting and improbable standards. However, a self-identity developed through the secure, changeless love God has for people (John 3:16), made perfect in Jesus Christ (Hebrews 2:10), a genuine and lasting PEACE is instilled that far surpasses worldly standards and emotions (Philippians 4:7). When an individual at any age connects their identity to a loving God and forgiving Savior they are able to feel true self-esteem, live life to the fullest, and able to meet the challenges and changing trends of society.
