School Notes:
  • In 2001, Salisbury entered its second century of educating boys. Our school is home to one of the most beautiful campuses in New England. Salisbury's "Hilltop" is located in northwestern Connecticut's Berkshire Foothills.
  • Boys at Salisbury are part of a community. From the moment they first arrive to the day they graduate, our students all play important roles in the life of the School. Salisbury provides an environment that allows each boy to find success and enjoy himself along the way.
  • Almost $30 million dollars in campus improvements have transformed Salisbury's campus. The new academic, athletic and social facilities are remarkable. The next steps will be the additions of a turf field and athletic center.
