Overview
Salem Lutheran School is the oldest continually operating private school in Texas since 1853.
Salem partners with families as we educate the whole child - spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.
Our teachers use a variety of teaching methods to engage our students in their academic growth. We regularly benchmark students to track growth and offer intervention as necessary through our Support Services.
All students engage in STEM learning opportunities in our Innovation Lab each week.
Rosehill Christian School is a Pre-K through 12th grade non-denominational Christian school specializing in fully engaging academically advanced students.
Existing as an extension of the Christian home, our school partners with parents to develop young men and women who continuously grow in their walk with Jesus Christ.
At Rosehill Christian we believe there is only one chance to educate our children as the journey matters.
Beyond an outstanding educational program, the journey at Rosehill produces transformation in children, teaches them the importance of service, develops their courage, appreciates the need for community and equips students for eternity.
Our well-qualified teachers use a blend of traditional teaching strategies enriched by hands-on activities, along with a full range of instructional technology, to reach our diverse student body.
Rosehill Christian School offers an extensive menu of elective courses, athletic programs, and community service opportunities to enable our students to fully develop their broad range of gifts and talents.
In addition to Fine Arts and Technology courses, we are the only private Christian school in the area to offer Agricultural Science as a course to complement our school-sponsored 4-H program.
