A Look Inside a Few of Our Clubs
Robotics
The robotics program at Salisbury offers students the opportunity to design, build, and program robots for contending in nationwide competitions. Offered in place of a sport during the fall and winter trimester, students work together as a team at the robotics lab in the Wachtmeister-Bates Math and Science Building. In 2019, the school invested in a 144 square foot arena from Vex Robotics. The VEX Robotics Design System offers students an exciting platform for learning about areas rich with career opportunities spanning science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Math Team
The goal of the math team at Salisbury is to improve students' problem solving abilities while having fun! Everybody is welcome and encouraged to join. The math team competes in several international competitions throughout the year including the American Mathematics Competition (AMC), the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME), and the Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament (HMMT).
Additionally, the Salisbury math team fosters engagement with other local boarding schools' math teams while attending events.
