Salisbury School

251 Canaan Road, Salisbury, CT, 06068-0606
Salisbury School is a boys’ school that values loyalty and honor. We are a small school that strives to develop a boy’s mind, body, and spirit. Finally, we are a school founded in the tradition of the Episcopal Church and seek to instill in each boy a moral compass that will guide him during his college years and in the world thereafter. The mission of Salisbury School is to educate young men by inspiring in each student an enthusiasm for learning and the self-confidence needed for intellectual, spiritual, physical, and moral development. The close partnership of student and teacher encourages each young man to take pride in his accomplishments, to think critically and creatively, to participate actively in his own education, and to make responsible decisions for his future. With established expectations for performance and behavior, Salisbury School promotes service to others, trust and honesty, religious faith, and respect for ethnic, cultural, gender, and learning differences. The school's spirit of community fosters long-lasting ties of friendship, healthy competition, and enjoyment of life. Salisbury strives to graduate young men ready and eager to meet the challenges of college and adulthood with an appreciation of their responsibilities in the world community.
