History

Salisbury Academy was founded in 1993 with the goal of providing an innovative option in education to the Salisbury community. With 13 students in grades 1, 2 and 3, the first classroom facilities were established in the Education Wing of Haven Lutheran Church.

By 1996, increased enrollment led to a need for additional space, and the Carter Kindergarten was established at its present location behind Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. A year later, a middle school serving grades 5-8 was added, housed in a separate space on Brenner Avenue.

By 2000, faced with growing enrollment , the school constituents embarked on an extensive period of self-assessment and planning. In 2001, the decision was made to build a unified campus to serve all students in one location for grades Jr. Kindergarten through 8th.

An ambitious fund-raising and construction project was launched that resulted in the beautiful ten-acre campus and new buildings we presently enjoy. The school moved into the new building in the spring of 2003. This current building is part of an exciting master plan designed to ensure that Salisbury Academy will continue to provide exceptional educational facilities for our students for years to come.
