Thank you for considering a Salisbury Academy education. As you will learn through the admission process, families find great value in Salisbury Academy’s educational experience and the way in which we inspire our students to love learning and become passionate leaders.
Our goal is to offer a world-class education in a diverse environment. We believe that diversity in the backgrounds of our students enriches the learning environment for all, and we understand that each family’s circumstances are unique.
To achieve this, Salisbury Academy is committed to an individualized approach to tuition by utilizing a third-party organization to analyze each family’s financial situation. Families are responsible for an out-of-pocket tuition cost that may fall within the following ranges.
