Student Life on the HilltopWe are happy to learn about your interest in Salisbury Summer School. In addition to the outstanding academic training that you will receive, We know that you will also be excited about the afternoon sports and clubs offered nearly every day. In addition, our weekend program also provides a variety of fun and cultural activities that are enjoyed by our students and faculty.
During the week, students are asked to select either a sport or an activity that will meet three afternoons per week. The athletic options may include soccer, basketball, tennis, paddle tennis, ultimate Frisbee, weight training, whiffle ball, hiking, and golf and cycling (if demand is sufficient). Students also may have the option of choosing music, arts and crafts, hip-hop dance, yoga or drama instead of a sports activity. Student versus faculty soccer and basketball games are highlights of the summer school sports program as is the dance performance. If you are a competitive athlete, there is also time for you to train and workout for your particular sport.
Talented student and faculty readers and musicians entertain the school community with weekly performances at our Friday evening assemblies. The School also sponsors trips to a near-by town once or twice each week for students who want to go shopping.
The weekends are also a time of excitement and enjoyment as students participate in various activities, both on and off campus. Students take chaperoned trips to movie theaters and local dramatic productions, in addition to the always popular visit to Six Flags New England. The all-school field day has traditionally been another event that is very popular with the students. Students wishing to go swimming may do so on Sundays. We also recommend Sunday as the best day for parents to visit their sons and daughters. Some students may wish to go home on Saturday night if they live nearby, and this can be arranged with permission of the director.
As you can see, there is something for everyone at Salisbury Summer School. All you need to do is join in the fun!
