About Salisbury School

Salisbury School has entered its second century of educating boys. The School’s founder and first headmaster, The Reverend George Emerson Quaile, began with a fundamental mission and philosophy, and we celebrate and hold true to these ideals more than 100 years later. We are a boys’ school that values loyalty and honor. We are a small school that strives to develop a boy’s mind, body, and spirit. Finally, we are a school founded in the tradition of the Episcopal Church and seek to instill in each boy a moral compass that will guide him during his college years and in the world thereafter.

Our boys are challenged each day by their teachers, their coaches, and their advisors. No one ever gets lost or falls through the cracks at Salisbury. We view ourselves as a community of learners who care for and support each other in all endeavors. Indeed, many graduates look back on their experience at Salisbury as much more than just an important chapter of their education or a stepping stone to the college of their choice. They realize that they have been and continue to be part of a family that will always be a cherished piece of their lives.
