Admissions

Tuition & Affordability

Q: Will applying for assistance impact my child’s admission decision?

No. Admissions and tuition assistance are considered separately. Your child’s potential is our focus.

Q: Is there support for families with multiple children?

Yes. We welcome larger families and encourage you to apply for tuition assistance based on your total household situation.

Q: Can we still apply after the priority deadline?

Yes, applications are reviewed on a rolling basis as long as funds remain available.

Investing in Your Child’s Future

At Salisbury Academy, we believe that an exceptional education — one that nurtures curiosity, builds character, and prepares students to lead with purpose — should be within reach for families who share our values.

We understand that choosing a private school is a significant investment. That’s why we are committed to working with families to make Salisbury Academy both accessible and affordable.

A large majority of Salisbury Academy families receive assistance either through the Opportunity Scholarship, ESA+, tuition assistance, Upper School Merit Scholarships, or a combination of these. As a result of this commitment, the actual out-of-pocket cost to attend Salisbury Academy can surprisingly be much less than other comparably-priced - and even lower-priced - institutions.

Affordability with Heart

We recognize that every family's financial situation is unique. Through need-based tuition assistance, North Carolina Opportunity Scholarships, Upper School Merit Scholarships, and flexible payment plans, we offer multiple pathways to make an SA education possible.

Our goal is simple: to partner with you in providing your child with a joyful, transformative education — one rooted in discovery, stewardship, community, and faith.
