Community Service at The Salisbury School opens the hearts and minds of our students to the reality of other members of their community.

This program often allows our students to become acquainted with people dealing with a variety of challenges and obstacles in their daily lives—people that most of them do not usually associate with on a regular basis. The relationships that our students form with these people allow them to understand the challenges and hopes of these people on a deeper, more personal level. As a result, it is our hope that they will develop empathy and compassion for these individuals, which will inform the personal and professional decisions that they make throughout their lives.

Our program is designed to meet a wide range of pressing needs in our community. From class focused activities in the Lower and Middle School, to our 60 hour individual service projects for students in the Upper School, The Salisbury School reaches out to create strong individual and institutional relationships, which in turn strengthen our community.
