Joyful Greetings from Salisbury Academy
Spring is springing at SA! Students enjoy several recesses each day year-round at Salisbury Academy, and spring is an especially wonderful time for play and discovery outdoors. Additionally, classes are active with field trips, signature events are taking place in classrooms, and Upper School seniors are reaping the rewards of their well-deserved college prep and have earned admission into their top-choice colleges.
I invite you to join me for a tour to learn about all of the unique and transformative offerings at SA and the many ways in which our students are known, loved, and prepared to be passionate leaders.

SA Junior Civitans Inspire Change
SA's upper and middle school Junior Civitans forged a network of connections with fellow members from across North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee at the recent Region 3 Convention.

These skills represent body control, endurance, motor planning, eye-hand coordination, core strength, and self-regulation - all skills that are foundational to the body-mind connection that is linked to academic success!

As part of their Core Knowledge Language Arts curriculum and their exploration of animals and habitats, students had the exciting opportunity to visit Rescue Ranch. There, they got hands-on experience, holding and feeding animals while learning about the different habitats these creatures call home.

Sixth Grade Brings Study of Shakespeare to Life
Will Brutus be declared innocent, acting for the good of Rome, or guilty of cold-blooded murder? The fate of Brutus lies in the hands of the sixth-grade jurors.
As the class concludes their reading of Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, students are stepping into the roles of lawyers, jurors, and witnesses in a dramatic trial. Through this engaging exercise, they are honing their persuasion and presentation skills, drawing on evidence from their in-depth research of the play.
