Our Philosophy The Salisbury School strives to promote a love of learning in an atmosphere in which individual students are encouraged to compete only with themselves as they strive to achieve a level of excellence that reflects their best personal effort and full potential— a genuine and meaningful accomplishment that does not come at the expense of others. As preparation both for college and for life, The Salisbury School seeks to give each of its students the true understanding that comes after serious thought and a broad and deep exploration of core curricular material including arts and athletics. The Salisbury School values a nurturing environment that teaches ethical values and creates a community in which treating others with respect and kindness is expected. The Salisbury School genuinely seeks to be a diverse community of learners and a community that seeks to graduate students who have developed a strong sense of inner confidence and conviction, and the desire to lead creative and purposeful lives.
