I love salem academy the teachers are amazing and always willing to help you. The academics are outstanding and the best you will get in the Salem Keizer area. The dual credit classes really prepare you for college.

Overall Salem Academy is a good private Christian school. There are wonderful teachers and staff who work here and are invested in the education of their students. A strong faith and Christ centered community who shows Gods love in many different ways. Not very diverse and exclusive of individuals who do not identify as straight.

Salem Academy became my second home during my school years. The teachers and staff are utterly knowledgeable in their subjects. It is truly a college prep school so if a student is not going for competitive academics and challenges then this is not the right school for them. My siblings were not perfect students and did not enjoy their time at SA because of that. They struggled a lot. If you can handle college-type classes then this is a perfect school.

I can't recommend this school at all. They don't deserve to have Christian in their name, I sincerely hope they go out of business and no longer can harm any more students lives. You would be better off homeschooling or looking elsewhere for your kids.

We were excited to start my daughter's schooling at Salem Academy. They have great teachers, friendly staff and the kids generally have fun. Fast forward to 2014 and my daughter's second year at Academy in the Preschool Program and they still have great teachers, friendly staff (for the most part) a...
