About Salem Academy

Mission

Founded four years before the Declaration of Independence, Salem Academy and College is the oldest educational institution for girls and women in the United States.

Our Moravian founders believed that girls and women were entitled to the same education as boys and men. Salem has held true to that history and has evolved to serve the changing needs of girls today as we live out our MISSION:

Educating girls since 1772, Salem Academy fosters compassionate and creative leaders, prepared for college and life, who chart their paths with character, curiosity, and courage.
