Overview
Academy of Hope is our on campus school. The girls are taught using the A.C.E.-Accelerated Christian Education, School of Tomorrow Curriculum.
Many of the girls are behind in their studies, and this program allows them to fill in learning gaps and work at full potential to catch up.
A teacher instructs and guides the class as they work on individual lessons or together on group projects.
We always shave a need for volunteers to help the girls when specific academic challenges arise.
Volunteers may also teach art, cooking, nutrition,and exercise. The girls also volunteer at least once a month serving in the community at such places as a senior center or food bank.
House of Hope is a Christian therapeutic school, home, and counseling center for hurting and troubled girls, ages 12-17.
We have an intensive program offering Christian education and counseling for girls and their families.
Our nonprofit ministry is unique because we require parents to participate in weekly counseling and family life training.
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.
