Living on the Hilltop
It's easy to find your place at Salisbury! Our vibrant community thrives on the concept of brotherhood, evident through our character-based approach to everything we do. director of campus life jennifer siff
At Salisbury we do everything right for boys! We celebrate what it means to be a boy and have designed a school where boys succeed and tradition matters.
Being a boarding school, Salisbury has a unique capacity to provide a transformative educational experience by fostering intentional, calibrated independence in a well-balanced, supportive, safe and healthy culture. Salisbury families absolutely view education as their number one priority and clearly understand the value proposition of a 24/7, immersive educational experience.
On the Hilltop, learning does not stop at the end of the academic day. Our extracurricular programs and student clubs and organizations such as Big Brothers, Chess Club, Classical Ensemble, Debate Club, Investment Club, Jazz Ensemble, Outdoor Club, Robotics, and Student Government, each provide Salisbury students an avenue for character-based learning and the opportunity for personal growth through new, shared experiences.
The residential campus environment immerses students in a dynamic setting that promotes camaraderie of common experience. The Salisbury School faculty to student ratio is optimal and our faculty all fill multiple roles on campus including that of a classroom teacher, advisor, dormitory parent, coach, etc. Extensive adult supervision lends itself to healthy adolescent interaction. This interaction between students and teachers, in turn, leads to relational learning that ultimately leads to higher academic achievement and character development.
From the family-like dynamic between students and faculty, our wide range of clubs and organizations, social opportunities, leadership and service, to our time honored traditions, your time at Salisbury will be meaningful and fun!
A Place Where Leaders Are Born
At Salisbury School, we believe the high school years are among the most formative of any boy’s life. They are a time when boys discover who they are and what they stand for, and when they develop the values that will stay with them throughout adulthood.
What makes us different from other top boys’ boarding schools in the Northeast is our focus on molding the whole individual. We believe strong values can’t be taught solely in the classroom or on the playing field. Our approach stresses mental, physical, creative and spiritual development as part of the same character-building process.
To that end, we offer a rigorous program that involves academics, sports and the arts, as well as an immersion in the rich community life our campus provides. The majority of our 310 students live on campus, sharing meals and participating in activities together. Over 30 interscholastic sport teams provide opportunities at a variety of levels, while our music and art studios are among the best equipped of any private boys’ school in the Northeast.
