What Makes Salisbury Distinct?
All-Boys
Being a small, single-sex school allows us to better foster your confidence. Salisbury students feel comfortable challenging themselves and each other in the classroom. You will become willing to take risks in a wide range of academic subjects- from science to the arts.
Schedules Designed For The Way Boys Learn
X - Block: This period is set aside to meet with extracurricular groups, take music lessons or meet with your advisor. X Block provides an opportunity to meet face-to-face with the faculty member on campus who knows the most about your life at Salisbury.
Chapel
Chapel services are held every Tuesday and Friday morning before classes and include a speaker, community prayers, a hymn, a musical performance and a responsive reading. Salisbury is also sensitive to the worship needs of non-Christians and regularly provides chapel speakers and services to honor those interests.
All-School Meeting
Twice each week, on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, we gather as a community for School Meeting. Both faculty and students are encouraged to participate!
