Learning in Motion: Field experiences at Salisbury Academy
At Salisbury Academy, learning knows no boundaries — and every step of the Jaguar Journey is enriched by experiences that extend far beyond the classroom walls.
Field experiences are a key part of our experiential learning model, giving students opportunities to acquire new knowledge and apply what they've learned in meaningful, real-world contexts. Whether exploring a local museum, engaging in service with a community partner, immersing in the arts, or venturing into nature for discovery and reflection, Salisbury Academy students are constantly in motion — learning with purpose and curiosity.
These intentional experiences spark wonder, deepen understanding, and nurture the confident, compassionate learners we’re proud to send out into the world.
