Our family loves Salem Baptist Christian School! Not only are the teachers successful in teaching concepts from a biblical worldview, they genuinely care for the students by observing academic and social aspects and conveying those strengths and weaknesses to the parents. We have experienced every grade level at this point and are very thankful that Salem has provided my children what they have needed.

I am beyond thankful that we have found a college prep Christian school that is a seamless transition from our child's former Christian school in League City, TX. Salem Baptist Christian School is top notch in every department and category. I have confidence that our child will excel in academics in this loving, Christian environment. The teachers are experienced, knowledgeable, and kind. The communication between the administration and educators is excellent. The extracurricular activities offered are extensive and limitless. Our son had graduated as the Salutatorian from a similar school in Texas and received an substantial scholarship to Baylor University. With Salem Baptist Christian School, I have complete confidence in knowing that the same result could happen with our second child. I am beyond thankful and grateful we have found a top notch school in every aspect with Salem Baptist Christian. Enroll your child in Salem Baptist and you will not be disappointed.

This is a great school. My kids have been here for 3 years. We left the public school system because it was failing us, my kids were being bullied and began pulling away and not wanting to talk. We made the decision to find a new school 3 years ago, BEST DECISION EVER MADE! My kids are back to being the loving/talkative kids they were prior to middle school. My ONLY Regret is not enrolling my kids at Salem in Kindergarten.

Our family will be new to SBCS but I would like to share what we have experienced thus far. We have been very impressed from every aspect - touring, shadowing, orientation, and interview..... The experience of the faculty, staff and administration were beyond what we had experienced in the past. The Biblical integration throughout every subject and rigorous academics was evident as teachers discussed their syllabus. Students carry themselves with respect and integrity. It showed that their vision is to prepare every student to "Achieve, Love, Serve." If you are looking for a solid Christian education for your student, consider checking SBCS out... you will be amazed!

MY SON HAS BEEN A STUDENT HERE SINCE HE WAS 3 YEARS OLD. THIS IS A WONDERFUL CHRISTAIN SCHOOL WITH GOOD TEACHERS WHO CARE ABOUT THE STUDENTS AND THEIR SUCCESS. I HAVE NEVER WORRIED ABOUT BULLIES OR HAD ISSUES WITH OTHER STUDENTS. ACCEPTANCE IS EASY FOR ALL AT SALEM. WHEN MY SON WAS GIVEN THE CHOICE TO GO TO PUBLIC SCHOOL THIS YEAR HE SAID "WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT?"
