this school really rocks!!! My sister went there and it was awesome. Now I'm going there and it is still awesome!!! I do cross country and my best friend does glee. Can you believe it, they have glee. The teachers are so funny and nice, and they really know how to teach kids. I wish I could rate this school a 10 but sadly the highest I can rate it is a 5.

Salk is a wonderful school with a welcoming and well thought out learning enviornment. When I first toured the school, I was struck with how happy and relaxed the students seemed. We're delighted that our son is at Salk. The teachers are responsive, the curriculum encourages creative thinking and problem solving, and the envviornment stresses collaboration and the joy of learning. Although the school stresses science, drama,technology, the arts, and sports are also a part of a very enriched curriculum.

this is a great school where you are constantly challenged and learn something new and interesting every day! The teachers, especially in 7th grade, are excellent and are always open to hearing your ideas and there to help you! It's awesome!

The work at salk was intensive and exciting. The small size of the school guarantees that each student will find time to talk to any teacher when they wish. There were also plenty of activities to entertain the students such as movie day. As a graduate of class of '06 who has revisited the school many times since, I can vouch for the continuous and visible improvements to the school.
