We want every Salisbury student to achieve his full potential. Our academic program challenges and supports each student so that he will graduate from Salisbury ready to meet the demands of a rigorous college program and able to make intelligent and moral decisions about life.
Our average class size is eleven. Honors level and Advanced Placement courses are available for students seeking a more challenging curriculum. Many required courses also offer sections at a more moderate pace. Tutoring and study skills help are available during a boy's free periods or outside of school hours.
Departmental course offerings are carefully designed to teach students to write and read well, to think independently, and to apply specific skills to various learning situations. We expect all students to prepare thoroughly for their lessons, participate in discussions with both teachers and peers, and perform to the best of their abilities. Classes six days a week with study hall support in the evening, gives students the structure within which to succeed and learn time management skills.
The academic calendar is divided into three trimesters and a normal course load for students in all grades consists of five courses per trimester.
