Salem Lutheran School has been serving the Affton, MO and South St. Louis City communities for over 100 years! During the 2009 – 2010 school year, we celebrated the 100th school year for Salem Lutheran School. God has blessed us with many great teachers and alumni. Former students of Salem Lutheran School have gone on to be doctors, teachers and Pastors. Many former students have even returned to be on staff at Salem, with three alumni currently serving.
The NAEP report, often called the “Nation’s Report Card,” ranked the Lutheran School system the #1 school system in the country.
