My daughter just finished her first year at Salem. She loves her classes and teachers. She feels challenged as well as supported. It has been great to see her bloom in just one year, I'm looking forward to the next three.

I loved Salem so much during my time there, I believe it is one of the best school experiences someone could ever have. I was a student on a hefty academic scholarship and I felt included and accepted in my environment. Everyone was kind and understanding. I do believe that Salem could do better with scheduling events and letting students know about things in advance, as well as the tech that is available to everyone. The chromebooks provided are outdated and run slowly.

My daughter is very shy and this school has been a great fit for her. The small class size has allowed her to become more confident about public speaking and sharing her thoughts. The faculty are very supportive and she loves all of her classes. She really enjoys the all-girls aspect of the school, it has helped her to develop and grow. Highly recommend.
