Shalom Mennonite School offers to its students a quality, K-8, Christian education with an Anabaptist perspective in a warm, friendly atmosphere. It seeks to assist parents in their God-given responsibility of teaching their children and training young people for living lives of service to God under the lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of the Scriptures.
The vision for a new elementary school began during the winter of 2002 with a small group of people who shared a common interest in and believed there was a need for a school that would provide elementary education within a conservative Anabaptist framework. Over the next year, numerous meetings were held for a prayer, council and discernment. In the fall of 2003, a decision was made to formally organize a committee to pursue plans for a new elementary school. The need for this school was solidified in the spring of 2004 when Blue Ball Mennonite Church, having seen a great need and making plans for an elementary school in this area, discontinued their plans in favor of supporting this new work.
Shalom Mennonite School is organized as an association. This provides opportunity for patrons, grandparents, past patrons, church leaders, and other interested persons to be actively involved in the operations of Shalom. Association members may serve on the board and/or school committees and are given voting privileges at the annual association meeting.
