On December 16 and 17, 2009, West Salem High School presented a choir/orchestra concert, "Winter at…read moreWest." More than three hundred performers took part. "Winter at West" showcased West Salem's several choirs. If it becomes an annual event, and so long as the choir director, Mr. Jesse Angelo, remains at West Salem, we recommend this concert to anyone in the area. Anyone, that is, who can get tickets. The auditorium was nearly filled and this was Mr. Angelo's first year as choir director. Word of this event will get around. The string orchestra was supplemented with an unusual percussion section, discerned with difficulty through the strings, which seemed to be some kind of hand drums, probably goblet drums. The orchestra's above-average performance included two instrumental pieces. Primarily, however, the orchestra supported the choirs. Secondarily, it supported three guest soloists. The first played a piano, the second a harp and the third a domra, a Russian stringed instrument that looks a bit like a mandolin. West Salem's choirs -- half a dozen or more, some large, some small -- were outstanding, and the concert was by no means limited to the usual holiday carols. Some selections were familiar but most were not. Compositions ranged from the English Renaissance (in a piece composed by William Byrd, a contemporary of Shakespeare) to the Twentieth Century. Most were in English but three were in foreign languages: Russian, Hebrew and -- well, I've forgotten the third. Some pieces were sung a capella but most were supported by the orchestra. Sometimes choirs were combined or supported one another. Attacks and cadences were sharp. Some pieces were slow, some were fast. Some were simple, some were complex. Some were small and some were massive. All were superbly sung. In sum, under Mr. Angelo's animated conducting, the performance was stunning, far above anything you would expect from high school choirs. Mr. Angelo obviously inspires his students with the belief that they can do anything professional choirs can do -- and, with a lot of work on their part, they do it. Hear them while you can. Mr. Angelo may receive some very serious and tempting offers from outside the school district.

A Life-Changing Experience at Salem Academy…read more Middle school can be a tough time for kids, but Salem Academy's Bridge 56 program offers something truly special. It gives students the independence they need while still providing the support and guidance to help them succeed. Our son started at Salem Academy in 5th grade, and this school has changed his life in ways we never could have imagined. Unlike public schools, Salem Academy looks at the whole child--focusing not just on academics, but also on character and personal growth. It's a safe, encouraging place where kids can learn, grow, and become who they were meant to be, surrounded by positive role models and supportive peers. Now, as we approach graduation, our family will forever be grateful for our time at Salem Academy.

I don't say this lightly - we have five children who have attended schools all over the country and in India and Abu Dhabi. I think what Abiqua gets right is the balance between a rigorous academic program and a holistic approach to understanding and nurturing the whole child. Whether your child is on the gifted end of the spectrum, somewhere in the middle, or needing additional support - the teachers have proven time and again they will "meet your child where he or she is at." It's not just lip service - we have lived this. We have considered moving out of the Salem area several times and two factors keep us here, one of which is the extraordinary education our children are receiving at Abiqua. I wish every single school in Salem provided the same experience - all children deserve this kind of education.
