Quiet, thoughtful, and intentional, Myles Drayton has been a valued member of the Salem Christian School Class of 2026. As he prepares to continue his education at Central Piedmont Community College, we celebrate this important milestone!

Congratulations, Myles! We're praying for God's guidance and blessing as you begin this exciting new season.

Sunshine, fresh air, and hands-on learning made for a great week at SalemKids Summer Day Camp!

This week, our campers helped care for our school's outdoor garden by watering plants and learning the importance of stewardship and responsibility. We're excited to watch both our garden, and our campers, continue to grow this summer!

We are excited to share that Christian King has made his decision to attend Forsyth Technical Community College in the fall!

Christian has been a steady and valued part of the Salem Christian School community. Known for his easy-going personality, respectful demeanor, and positive spirit, Christian has made a lasting impact on those around him.

As he prepares for his next chapter at FTCC, we are excited to see all that God has in store for him. While he will certainly be missed on our campus, we know his future is promising!

Congratulations, Christian! We are proud of you and look forward to watching you continue to grow and succeed.

Have a wonderful week Defenders!

A groundbreaking day for young readers and learners at Salem Christian School!

As an official in-school program of the National Institute for Learning Disabilities (NILD), SCS has long benefited from the expertise and impact of NILD through our Discovery Center. Yesterday marked an exciting new chapter as NILD Professionally Certified Educational Therapist Arrin Brammett traveled from Texas to provide Science of Reading training for our entire Lower School faculty.

Why does this matter? Research continues to show that strategies once used primarily to support students with learning differences can benefit all developing readers. These evidence-based practices help struggling readers become confident readers, good readers become great readers, and great readers become exceptional readers.

By investing in this training for every Lower School teacher, Salem Christian School is ensuring that every student receives the strongest possible foundation in reading—regardless of where they are on their literacy journey. We are excited about what this means for our students today and for years to come.

Summer STEM fun is coming to SCS this June 22-26!

Salem Christian School is excited to host the all-new 2026 Camp Invention experience for curious kids entering grades K–6 from 9am-3:30pm each day! Led by some of your favorite SCS teachers—Krystal Baker, Amanda Lanier, Donnie Correll, and Jason Stephenson — this summer day camp is filled with hands-on STEM adventures designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and ignite a lifelong love for learning.

Campers will jump into fun, enriching experiences that encourage persistence, adaptability, and creative problem-solving, all while imagining, experimenting, and creating! Pricing starts at $285, with payment plans available at checkout up to eight weeks before camp begins.

Spots are available for campers and HS Leaders in Training! Rising 10th–12th grade students who want to serve, lead, and be part of the fun may attend for $185. For more info, visit https://www.invent.org/program-search/camp-invention/nc21/16188

Today, we thank the Lord for the men and women who have so courageously given their lives in service to our country and to us, its people. We pray today also for the families who continue on in their absence, that the Lord would cover them with His peace, His grace and His strength today and every day.

Some students lead from the front, and others lead with quiet consistency. Jacob Martin has done both by sharing his gifts on guitar in praise band while also bringing a calm, respectful presence to the Class of 2026. We are thankful for the way Jacob has been part of the heart of Salem. Congratulations, Jacob!

Thursday we celebrated a huge milestone for our 5th graders: the official SCS “Crossing the Street” ceremony!

As they close the door on their Lower School years, we pause to celebrate the friendships formed, lessons learned, accomplishments earned, and memories made along the way. With parents cheering them on with signs of congratulations in hand, Mrs. Hemphill and our Lower School teachers lovingly sent them across the street, where Mr. Smejkal welcomed them into the next chapter: Middle School.

We are all so proud of these students and excited to watch them continue to grow as Salem Christian Defenders!
