Salem Lutheran School announced its extension of teaching levels to include the seventh and eighth grades. The expansion is timely because Salem parents have wanted their children to continue receiving instruction on developing and practicing high moral and ethical standards. So that their concerns can be met, seventh grade will begin in September, with eighth grade classes beginning September 2016.

At Salem, education is considered complete only if it includes both top level academics together with classes stressing good citizenship, strong moral values and examples of ethical behavior in the context of Christian teachings.

“Our teachers’ goals and our parents’ goals are one and the same,” said Ghada Huleis, who has been the school’s principal for 14 years. “We are here to support parents who want their children to grow into well-balanced adults who value achievement, service to others in need and compassion towards all.”

Glendale’s Salem Lutheran School is an award winning National Blue Ribbon School. Huleis was honored as principal of the year by Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and was the recipient of the National Distinguished Principal Award presented by National Association of Elementary School Principals. Salem is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
