Student Life Overview
Shalom Christian Academy recognizes that school life includes more than classroom instruction. We seek to provide opportunities for students to interact and build relationships with faculty and other students. Traditions such as the annual fifth grade faculty-student kickball game, spirit weeks and mini courses enhance our community and reinforce our mission.

Dinner theater Production
Each spring high school drama students produce a play that is open to the public. Two of the shows use a dinner theater format. Two shows are the production only. Past productions have included “Little Women”, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “The Wizard of Oz”.
Elementary Christmas and Spring Programs
Elementary students are divided into lower (K – 2nd grade) and upper (3rd – 5th grade) for two chorale programs per year. At the spring program, students from the Growing Tree Preschool join lower elementary students for part of the event.
Middle School Christmas and Spring Programs
Middle school chorus, band and drama each present two programs per year. The spring program is typically a musical with chorus and drama students working together.
High School Christmas and Spring Programs
Chorale students present a Christmas program. High school band also performs at that same event. In the spring, chorale invites an outside singing group to present a concert with them.
