I DO NOT recommend this school!!!! They are SO judgmental of the kids. There is a HUGE issue with favoritism and blaming children to fit their narrative. They do not practice what they preach and when it is brought to their attention "I am sorry that was your experience" is all they have to say. They are not interested in supporting families, just saving face. There is probably a good reason they don't have Google reviews, cause they would be as poor as they are on this website!

This school has made me feel very welcomed and I enjoy learning there. I feel prepared for college with my academics and my time management skills. I feel like there could be improvements on the traffic after school in order for people to get in and out of there more efficiently. I wish that the Bible class could be more consistent each year.

Salem Academy is Ana amazing school with an incredible history. It is very academically challenging and is very well rounded with good sports and arts programs. The class sizes are small and intimate. However, the school itself is getting too small and would be better if it were bigger.

I can't recommend this school at all. They don't deserve to have Christian in their name, I sincerely hope they go out of business and no longer can harm any more students lives. You would be better off homeschooling or looking elsewhere for your kids.

Our daughter recently started in the preschool program. We were worried about her transition, but she was welcomed by friendly teachers and students.

We were excited to start my daughter's schooling at Salem Academy. They have great teachers, friendly staff and the kids generally have fun. Fast forward to 2014 and my daughter's second year at Academy in the Preschool Program and they still have great teachers, friendly staff (for the most part) a...
