Located in the rolling hills of Southern Indiana, Salem Community School Corporation, with a total enrollment of 2049, is comprised of four schools with a common emphasis on providing local students with state-of-the-art educational opportunities.

All four school buildings are located within walking distance of one another on the north west edge of the City of Salem.  In all grade levels and subject areas, Salem teachers are dedicated to increasing student achievement by providing authentically engaging work for students to do.

As one of 26 school districts across the United States, Salem Community Schools have been selected to participate in the Standard Bearer School District Network.

Working through the Center for Leadership in School Reform, the Standard Bearer School District Network is a national network of public school systems that use a set of standards for developing and assessing their capacity to support building-level and classroom-level change.

The Ten System Standards, at the heart of the process, have been developed by The Schlechty Center for Leadership in School Reform in partnership with the North Central Association and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
