Academics at Salem Academy

Learning is Different Here

Emma Grimstead A’22 noticed it during her campus tour. It was the tiniest of details, yet it told her all she needed to know:

“I visited a class and saw students talking while working. That wasn’t allowed in my public school! It showed me that the teachers at Salem trust students and that the students take the work seriously. It was a beautiful thing!”

Emma’s mind was instantly set: “I chose Salem Academy because I wanted that type of freedom and trust.”
