Taster Days at Schule Schloss Salem

The step to boarding school is a big one and needs to be carefully considered. It's hard to imagine in advance what awaits you at Salem. A campus visit will give you at least a small idea of what everyday life at Schule Schloss Salem is like.

Our campus visits always include an in-depth interview with a member of the Salem Admissions Team and an intensive tour of the school and boarding facilities. Guest children are usually met by a Salem student at the Admissions Office and invited to lunch. We do our best to ensure a variety of perspectives on life and learning at our school by involving educational staff and/or Salem students.

Residential taster days (maximum 2 nights) are reserved for our youngest candidates (grades 5 and 6), for whom the step away from home is even greater. The cost of the residential taster days is €300 per night. This cost is deducted from the tuition and boarding fees when the contract is signed for the following school year.

Since taster guests receive intensive support from both our mentors and our existing children, taster stays are an exception for us, which we only allow in grades 7 to 10 in justified individual cases and provided that there are free beds on our wings.

In the Upper School, there is generally no possibility of a taster stay. This is partly due to the fact that we have full year groups. On the other hand, the Upper School years are characterized by academic tasks and periods of concentration, which we try to accommodate as much as possible.

The prerequisite for a site visit and taster days is a current application with complete documents and the prospect of admission to Schule Schloss Salem.

Dates for campus visits are arranged on an individual basis with the Admissions Team. Our Admissions Team will be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.
