From Salesianum School
Salesianum is a brotherhood of faith and learning committed to educating the minds and hearts of students. As Salesian gentlemen, our students are not passive learners but part of a living tradition, a legacy that builds on the optimism and tenacity of three Oblate priests who arrived from France in 1903 to establish Salesianum with just twelve students. Their courageous spirit is reflected in our school motto, Tenui Nec Dimittam: I have taken hold and will not let go. We strive daily to continue to honor the example of those who have gone before us at Salesianum and inspire our students to build a stronger brotherhood and a better world.

Sending our sons to Salesianum School was the best decision we ever made.
I have three sons with very different interests. My boys have participated in band, theatre, Science Olympiad, basketball, soccer, baseball, tailgate club, ping pong club, guitar club and others.
Academically I could not ask for more. My oldest two sons were both accepted into many colleges with scholarships and are currently in the Honors Program at UD. Sallies prepared them with the study and organizational skills to be independent and successful in college and later in life.
The best part about Sallies is the brotherhood. My sons have each met "their people" and have made life long friends. My two sons in college still hang out with their Sallies friends on breaks. Sallies teaches the students about hard work and dedication as well as humility and compassion for others. Sallies develops the students to be well rounded respectful adults.
I could not be happier with our experience at Salesianum.

Salesianum has a name to uphold. So do the students there. They like to use the phrase,"you students are standing on the shoulders of giants," and they are correct. But what goes largely unnoticed is that many of the students themselves are already well on their way to growing to sizes of larger proportions while being supported by each other and the amazing faculty at the school. I honestly really did not want to go to Sallies when picking out high schools, but with parents like mine, I never had the freedom to choose. Yet some how I come to be satisfied with the decision that was made. The athletics are top notch, musical productions never disappointed, there was always an activity to take part in or game to be played. The academics were great not just because of the entire extremely competent teachers, but also because of the many bright young individuals working their hardest. In the end I was very happy to have graduated from Salesianum and to have found a home with those I'd met
Great school and brotherhood! Allows the students to be themselves. Embraces the individual. The school offers a variety of activities and has excellent sports programs. The athletic stadium is amazing and the best in the state
