Salem Academy Orientation 2022

Welcome Home Salem!

The start of every school year is an exciting time, and this year is no exception. Salem Academy is off and running and primed for a great year. Twenty-six new students have joined the school and we are so delighted to welcome them as well as welcome back our returning students. Among the students are international students hailing from Austria, Dominica, Germany, Hungary and Ukraine.

Classes began at Salem Academy on Thursday, August 18 and the first couple of days have been full of excitement and fun as students have been settling in and meeting new people as well as connecting with old friends.

As “Welcome Week” continues there are several important events taking place.

Friday, August 19 is Salem Spirit Day. Students wear their Salem gear and have a chance to win prizes. There is also lunch with “Bigs” and “Littles.” “Bigs” are older students who are paired with the first-year students (“Littles”) to help introduce Littles to life at Salem Academy. Later in the afternoon, a “School Bash” for all students, faculty and staff on Clewell Patio is a time to mix and mingle and have fun.

On Sunday, August 21, Boarding students will attend a service at Home Moravian Church at 9:45 a.m. followed by a luncheon. Day students are encouraged to join the experience.

A Community Picnic will take place outside at Bryant Hall & Patio from 5:15 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 23. Day students are encouraged to join Boarding students for a casual dinner that is another great opportunity to have fun in a casual setting with fellow students.

The Opening Ceremony will take place on Friday, August 26 from 4 – 5 p.m. This annual ceremony is an important Academy tradition and marks the official start of the academic year. It takes place in Shirley Recital Hall in The Salem Academy and College Elberson Fine Arts Center and is the perfect way to end the first full week of classes.

Welcome to all Salem Academy students, faculty and staff!
