ARTS
At Salem we offer a variety of activities for your child to grow outside of the classroom. Salem offers band, choir, piano, handbells, drama club, speech team, and baking club. These fine arts activities are taught at Salem School either during the school day or afterschool, making it possible for many students to be a part of these educational opportunities. Salem has an amazingly talented and experienced staff who help kids excel in these programs outside of the school curriculum.
