Going to Salem was the best decision I ever made. Lifelong friendships were made, and I was so prepared for my college experience both academically and in terms of my independence. College was a breeze after Salem. My heart is with this school forever!

Salem Academy prepared me for a life of challenge and academic pursuits. Salem taught me to think critically. With the small classes, each student is encouraged to find her best self. My classmates have remained close. I was a boarder but I have lifelong friendships with day students. Salem Gabe me the self-esteem I needed for college and graduate school. I am grateful to be an alum.
