Student Activities
The Student Activities Program is an integral part of the total educational experience for Salem School students. The program embraces the importance of providing a well-balanced activities program to augment the learning activities of the classroom. Student participation in school activities teaches and reinforces, through empirical learning, lessons consistent with the Salem student achievement goals of academics, essential life skills, and responsibility to the community. Life lessons such as teamwork, goal-setting, time-management, sportsmanship, commitment, and leadership are all taught through the daily experiences in school activities and prepare students for future life challenges. Although program offerings are not yet as comprehensive as they should be for Salem students, they are offered the opportunity to participate in clubs, visual and performing arts activities, and various other special interests groups / events. For those students who are not interested in participating in the athletic program, after-school activities serve as a high-quality alternative for students. The following student activities are currently offered to Salem School students and supported in the school budget through stipends paid to activity advisors:
