Founded in 1973, Salem Christian School, a ministry of New Life Covenant, is an urban Pre-K3 thru 8th grade school located in the Humboldt Park/Logan Square communities of Chicago.  We are committed to rigorous academics while balancing our program with art, music, Spanish, dance, and physical education.  Maintaining a low teacher-student ratio of 1:20, we have proudly prepared hundreds of youth for acceptance and entrance into Chicago’s top-ranked high schools.  Our faculty have embraced their callings and are dedicated to instilling a Christian worldview and developing servants who both STAND and SPEAK!
