SA Parent Delaine Fowler shares:

"Parents want to know their children are positively encouraged, challenged, and emotionally cared for while at school, and this is exactly what we have at Salisbury Academy. It is easy to see the care and effort the teachers and administration put into creating a great learning environment for every student. Through movement, play, and hands-on learning, the teachers give our children the keys to becoming lifetime learners, impactful thinkers, and good citizens."

"My heart is grateful as I watch my children happily run into Salisbury Academy each morning. You cannot put a price on this type of gratitude."
