Salem Academy Charter School
About
Salem Academy Charter School is a free public charter school serving students in grades six through twelve from Salem and nearby communities. Its college preparatory program is paired with community service, and its mission is to graduate informed, articulate and proactive young people of strong character. Academics span the humanities, STEM and a range of electives, and college and career readiness work begins as early as sixth grade.
Admission is non-selective and open to every student regardless of academic record, language proficiency or disability status, with seats filled by lottery when applications exceed openings. As a Title I public school, Salem Academy runs Special Education and Multilingual Learner programs to support a diverse student body. An extended school day and year allow more time for learning, and students can join competitive middle and high school athletics, enrichment programs and leadership opportunities.
