School Notes Overview: |
Salem Academy is dedicated to fostering the intellectual, spiritual, social, and physical growth of young women. Founded 1772 by the Moravian church, Salem Academy flourishes today as an independent, college-preparatory school that celebrates its diversity and affirms each student's uniqueness. As advocates for women in leadership roles, we recognize our place in a global society and persist in our commitment to a lifetime of learning. We pledge ourselves to retain and nurture those values which encourage each student to take risks, show integrity, and discover her passion as she sets out on her own journey. Our lives here at Salem Academy are made up of countless moments that weave seamlessly into each other – moments of intense effort and sudden exhiliration, moments of friendship, love, and trust. Academic achievement is at the center of our school, but we live fully here in every way. Sports, theatre, music and the arts, community work – all of these are important because they bring fullness and happiness into the lives of our students. Moment by moment, day by day, we make our lives together at Salem Academy – creating a community of uncommon challenge and unmistakable warmth.
