Salem Academy and College created "Spotlight" as a premier summer academic enrichment program for young women, a natural extension of its rich heritage and institutional commitment dating back 233 years. Salem Academy and College, founded in 1772 in Winston-Salem, NC, is the oldest girls' school in continuous operation in the nation and shares an exquisite, historic 64-acre campus with Salem College, a liberal arts college for women. Spotlight is the opportunity for bright, intellectually curious young women from around the country to live and learn together in a place where extraordinary moments in ordinary days become treasured memories.

Research supports what Salem Academy and College already know; single gender education is a positive and powerful privilege, and Spotlight is the perfect opportunity to celebrate this experience. All sessions are open to rising 8th - 12th graders. Coursework is age and aptitude appropriate, providing a challenging intellectual environment in a stimulating and supportive community. Spotlight, first and foremost, is committed to the same values that are central to Salem Academy and College. Individual freedom is valued; honesty and integrity are expected; ethical and spiritual growth is necessary; a lifetime of learning is essential.
