Honor Code

As a school, Salem Academy is distinguished by a high level of academic achievement. As a community, it is characterized by a pervasive atmosphere of trust that informs all of our interactions and our days here.

Girls feel comfortable at Salem. They know that in expressing themselves with confidence and openness their ideas may be challenged, but they themselves will be accepted. They know there is always someone - often many people - they can seek out to discuss problems or issues in their lives. And they come to understand that they can leave anything -- books, clothing keys -- anywhere, anytime and find them there when they return.

The Salem Honor Code is the foundation for our life together, but that promise of honesty and integrity is only the written expression of what we manifest throughout our days here: We respect each other, we listen to each other, we enjoy each other. And we feel privileged to live in a community that brings out the best in each of us.
